Match Game PM (1975–81) is a weekly game show that aired in first-run syndication. It was the third version of Match Game and ran at the same time as the second one, with that version running during the day on CBS and this one running weekly in the nighttime (most often in early prime) in syndication.
It is played just like the daytime edition, except the winner plays two audience matches on the Super-Match, which could pay a jackpot of up to $10,000. In the second season, three rounds of the regular game were played. The Star Wheel, introduced in 1978, made the Super Match jackpot worth up to $20,000. If a contestant struck out on both audience matches, he/she was still spotted a potential $1000 on the head-to-head match which could be doubled to $2000 with the Star Wheel.
