Enhancing Pickleball Matches with Professional Live Scoreboard Overlays
Pickleball is growing fast, at club level, tournament level, and online. And as more matches get streamed, having a clear, accurate score display on screen has gone from a nice-to-have to pretty much essential. OBScoreboard gives clubs, organisers and production teams a browser-based scoreboard overlay that works for live streaming, venue screens and online broadcasts.
It’s not a physical scoreboard. It’s software, and it plugs straight into whatever broadcasting setup you’re already using.
What does a pickleball scoreboard overlay actually do?
In a livestreamed match, your scoreboard overlay is what keeps players, spectators and online viewers on the same page. It displays live scores clearly on screen, tracks the serving side and match progression, cuts down on confusion during close games, and just makes the whole broadcast look more put-together. Whether it’s a local club match or a streamed tournament, clean scoring makes a real difference to how it comes across.
How it works
OBScoreboard runs entirely in the browser. You generate a unique overlay link and drop it into OBS, vMix, Streamlabs, Wirecast or whatever software you’re using. No hardware, no installation, no complicated setup. Scores update instantly and show live on the stream, that’s pretty much it.
What you get for pickleball streaming
Real-time score updates, custom team and player names, match timers, clean modern broadcast design, custom branding with club logos and colours, and full control from your desktop, tablet or phone. You can also manage multiple matches from one account, which is handy if you’re running several courts at once.
Why it makes a difference
Online viewers can follow the match without getting lost, especially during long rallies or tight games. Clean overlays lift the perceived quality of the whole production and make sponsor placements look better too. For referees or stream operators, updating scores is quick and doesn’t interrupt coverage. And if you’re running a tournament across multiple courts, consistent scoreboard graphics across all of them just makes everything feel more organised and professional.
Not just for pickleball
OBScoreboard also covers tennis, padel, badminton, basketball, rugby, football, darts and more. One account, multiple sports, no need for separate software for each one.
Built for where streaming is going
More clubs are putting matches on YouTube, Facebook and other platforms every season. Having a reliable scoreboard system is becoming part of the setup, not an afterthought. OBScoreboard works for online streams, TV displays in venues, projector screens in clubs and multi-court tournament setups, so however your production grows, it grows with you.
