Everything a Basketball Game Needs
Score, clock, fouls, and a TV-ready display, built in from the first tap.
Quarter Clock You Run From the Bench
Set 8, 10, or 12-minute quarters and start, stop, and reset the clock between whistles, right from your phone. The gym display follows to the second.
1, 2, and 3-Point Buttons
Free throw, field goal, or three-pointer. Tap the matching button and the team total updates everywhere at once. No typing scores mid-possession.
Team Fouls, Timeouts & Possession
Keep the table official's job on one screen: team fouls for the bonus, timeouts remaining, the possession arrow, and the current quarter.
Readable From the Top Bleacher
Cast the display link to the gym TV or projector for a bold scoreboard players and parents can read across the court. No LED panel to buy or wire up.
Hand Scoring to the Scorer's Table
Coach from the bench while a volunteer keeps score from their own phone with the scorekeeper link. Every basket, foul, and timeout syncs live.
Fans Follow From Anywhere
Post the public link or QR code so parents who missed tip-off can follow live, or drop the board into OBS as an overlay for the game stream.
Game Clock, Quarters & Fouls
Tap 1, 2, or 3 to score, start and stop the clock from your phone, and track team fouls and timeouts. The display updates the instant you make a change, exactly what you need from the bench.

What is an online basketball scoreboard?
An online basketball scoreboard is a web page that keeps the score, period, team fouls and game clock for a basketball game. You control it from a phone or laptop and open the same link full-screen on a TV, projector or monitor, so there is no fixed console to wire in and nothing to install.
Period length is the thing that changes most between levels, and it is what the clock has to be set to before tip-off. Team fouls matter too: most levels enter the bonus on the seventh team foul in a half, so a board that counts fouls saves an argument at the free-throw line.
Period length and shot clock by level
| Level | Periods | Length | Shot clock |
|---|---|---|---|
| NBA | 4 quarters | 12 min | 24 sec |
| FIBA / international | 4 quarters | 10 min | 24 sec |
| NCAA men | 2 halves | 20 min | 30 sec |
| NCAA women | 4 quarters | 10 min | 30 sec |
| High school (NFHS) | 4 quarters | 8 min | 35 sec* |
*A shot clock is optional under NFHS rules and only some states use one. Set the clock to whatever your league actually plays.
