What's new

Every change you can see on air or in the control panel — new sports, new scorebug styles, and fixes. If your overlay looks different from last weekend, this is the place to check why.

Bigger releases get a full write-up on the blog.

July 2026

  • Improved

    ESPN 2018 bug closes up when down & distance is off

    Hiding down & distance used to leave an empty white band behind. It now opens and closes from its centre line, and the clock and period close up into a centred pair when it goes. A penalty flag still brings the band back.

  • Improved

    Push API: team scores, validation and sequence numbers

    The API for scoring peripherals moved to /api/v1, accepts full team scores, validates what you send it, and tags updates with a sequence number so a late request can never overwrite a newer score.

  • Fixed

    Basketball Olympics scorebug no longer splits in two

    The foul band was cutting the bug in half on free accounts. It now sits below the bug.

  • Fixed

    Control-panel preview matches the real overlay width

    Preview widths were hardcoded per style, so some bugs were shown wider or narrower than they render on air. The preview now measures the bug itself.

  • New

    Amazon basketball scorebug

    A fourth basketball style, modelled on Amazon’s basketball coverage.

  • Improved

    Overlay browser tabs are labelled

    An overlay tab now reads "Overlay - <sport> - <team1> vs <team2>", so a row of OBS browser sources is finally telling them apart.

  • Improved

    Bigger basketball Standard bug

    The Standard basketball scorebug is twice the size, and the ESPN one moved to bottom-centre.

  • New

    Olympics 2024 basketball scorebug

    The clean, centred look from the Paris games, with a foul band under the bug.

  • New

  • Fixed

    Long team names no longer overflow the Classic scorebug

  • Improved

    Tennis: player flags and a resized bug

  • Fixed

    Fox Soccer red cards sit below both team names

    One side was placing them inconsistently.

  • New

  • Fixed

    Soccer added-time stepper stopped fighting back

    Holding the stepper no longer bounces the value while the update is in flight.

  • Improved

    Pre-game countdown keeps the live scorebug up

    On soccer, the bug stays on screen through the countdown instead of being replaced by it.

  • Improved

    Soccer clock starts itself on a period change

    Move to the second half and the clock picks up from 45:00 without a second click.

June 2026

  • Improved

    Style changes reach the overlay instantly

    Switching scorebug style used to need an overlay reload. It now lands on air the moment you pick it, like a score does.

  • New

    Goal animation on the World Cup 2026 scorebug

    The score rolls up and the bug reacts when you add a goal.

    Read more →
  • Improved

    Soccer added time and a steadier clock

    The clock is aware of which half it is in when you add time, and the digits no longer shift the bug as they tick.

  • New

    Flag football: label band, timeouts and timeout indicator

    Put a custom label under the bug, set how many timeouts each team gets, and show a timeout on the bug itself. Built for Flagg-NM 2026.

  • New

    Full-time state for football

    End the game on the bug instead of leaving the clock at 0:00 in the fourth.

  • Improved

    Invite people to a single scoreboard

    Invites used to cover the whole account. You can now scope someone to one board. Ideal if you have a volunteer for a single game.

  • Improved

    Logo uploads on the free plan

    Uploading a team logo no longer needs a subscription.

  • New

    Pre-game countdown timer

    Point the overlay at kick-off time and it counts down to it, then hands over to the scorebug. Every sport has one.

  • New

  • New

    Push API for scoring peripherals

    Generate a push token on the control page and post scores from a stream deck, a macro pad or your own script.

  • Improved

    Faster pages

    Marketing pages and the control panel load noticeably quicker, and the overlay reconnects faster.

  • Improved

    Tennis overlay is match-ready

    Set and game handling that survives a real match, plus a usable control layout.

  • New

    Touchdown celebration

    Score a touchdown from the control panel and the overlay celebrates it.

  • New

    Tennis

    Sets, games and points, with tiebreaks — and a scorebug shaped for tennis rather than a scoreline.

    Read more →
  • New

    Flag football

    Down without distance, no ball-on, and two timeouts a side by default.

    Read more →
  • New

    CBS scorebug for football

    A three-dimensional bug with possession colour and a textured surface.

  • Fixed

    Possession arrow, and a few overlay fixes

    The Classic scorebug shows an arrow rather than a circle, Compact stopped tying possession to ball-on, soccer respects the hide-clock toggle, and pool labels a frame as "Frame" for snooker and carom.

  • New
