Anyone can keep score

No expensive hardware

Save thousands by eliminating dedicated scoreboard equipment. Transform screens you already own into scoring displays.

5 seconds to setup

Get scoring immediately with one-click setup. No complicated configuration—just select your sport and start.

One browser source, every streaming app

Compatible with OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop, vMix, Wirecast, XSplit, Ecamm Live, and any software that supports browser sources. Paste one URL, set transparent background, and your scoreboard is live on stream — no plugin to install, no template to render, no .png export step.

Built for every sport, not just one

Pick the sport that matches your stream and the overlay configures itself: soccer, basketball, football, baseball, hockey, tennis, volleyball, cricket, pickleball, lacrosse, and more. Streaming an esports tournament instead? Use the dedicated esports score overlay.

Update the score from your phone — without leaving the stream

Share the controller link with a parent, coach, or volunteer and they update the score from their phone while you keep filming. Updates push to the OBS overlay in real time, so you never alt-tab mid-broadcast.

Looks broadcast — without the broadcast budget

Transparent backgrounds, smooth score animations, custom team names and logos, and a scorebug or full-board layout. The result looks like vMix or Singular Live without the licence cost or the desktop install.

One overlay, every screen

The same browser-source URL that drives your OBS overlay also fills a venue TV, a courtside iPad, or a projector at the back of the gym. Two use-cases, one set-up, no second tool to learn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Create a scoreboard on KeepTheScore, copy the overlay URL from the share menu, and add it to OBS as a Browser Source with a transparent background. The overlay updates live whenever the score changes — see the full step-by-step OBS guide for screenshots.

Yes — the overlay itself is free forever and works in OBS, Streamlabs, vMix, Wirecast, Ecamm Live, and any browser-source-capable streaming software. Paid plans add custom logos, sponsor branding, and remove the watermark — see pricing.

No. The overlay is a regular web URL — there is no .exe, no OBS plugin, and no template file to download. If you can paste a URL into OBS, you can use it. That also means it works on macOS, Windows, and Linux without any platform-specific setup.

All the common ones: football, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, hockey, tennis, volleyball, badminton, pickleball, lacrosse, cricket, futsal, wrestling, and squash — plus a generic two-team overlay for anything else. For gaming streams, use the dedicated esports score overlay built around best-of-N series.

The esports overlay is tuned for fighting-game and FPS series (best-of-3, best-of-5, set count). This page is the sport-broad version — pick a sport preset like basketball or football and you get a clock, period, fouls, and the right scoring rules out of the box.

Yes. The controller URL can be opened on a phone, tablet, or second laptop — give it to a coach, parent, or co-host and updates appear on stream instantly without you alt-tabbing in OBS.

Both. Each sport ships with a small corner scorebug (the strip you see on TV broadcasts) and a full-board layout for half-time stingers or venue TVs. Switch between them mid-stream by changing the overlay URL.

"We use Keepthescore.com to update our livestream through OBS and it is FLAWLESS. I chose it because it was the easiest to incorporate into OBS and easiest to update. No installation needed, just adding a simple weblink and you're up and running!"

"I use Keepthescore.com for an annual Twitch event with roughly 300 players and it never lets me down! Scores are super easy to add or remove, the designs are very clean and adding images and easily being able to share a public link is what made me a loyal user, truly nothing does it better!"

"The scoreboard works amazingly well with OBS. Our scorekeeper has been very happy with how simple it is to operate and keep track. We have the output ran to a large TV and the audience is able to easily see the team names and score throughout our game."

"I use Keepthescore for my son's high school ultimate frisbee game streaming. It works great. Very easy to use and I love that another parent can keep score while I'm busy with the video streaming. The interface is so easy that you only need about 30 seconds to train up a new user!"

"I have used keep the score for a few years now and it's honestly the best website I have found, nothing else even comes close. It is very user friendly and you can customise your scoreboard. You can add scores individually or in bulk."
