Game & play clock
Full game clock countdown with optional play clock (25s / 40s). Start, stop, reset with one tap. Both run independently, exactly like the booth.
TD → PAT / 2-point flow
Touchdowns prompt for extra-point or 2-point conversion automatically. Field goals and safeties one tap each. Player attribution on every score.
Down & distance

A Football Scoreboard for Every Level of the Game
From Saturday-morning flag football to Friday-night lights
American football is a scorekeeper's nightmare: a game clock, a play clock, down and distance, field position, timeouts per half, penalties with yardage, and two-point conversion attempts that branch off every touchdown. Keeping all of that in a spiral notebook on a clipboard is how scorers miss plays, double-count fouls, or lose track of which team has the ball.
Our online football scoreboard runs the whole game from one screen. The game clock and the play clock tick independently. Touchdowns automatically prompt for PAT or 2-point. Down and distance updates as you log yardage. Penalties get tagged by type and yards. Timeouts show as pips that fade as each team burns them. Nothing to install, no login, works on any phone, tablet, or laptop — even offline once the page loads. If you're comparing browser-based scorekeepers across sports, read our guide to digital scorekeepers for basketball, tennis, soccer, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What coaches, refs, and parents ask before kickoff
Is this football scoreboard free?
Yes — the online football scoreboard is free to use. Track scores, game clock, play clock, downs, penalties, and timeouts with no signup and no download required. Optional paid plans exist for teams who want cloud sync and saved rosters, but the core scoreboard does not require a subscription.
What football formats does it support?
Flag Football (2×20 min), Pop Warner (4×8 min), High School (4×12 min), College (4×15 min), NFL (4×15 min), and fully custom formats where you set the number of quarters and minutes.
Does it handle PAT and 2-point conversions?
Yes. Tap TD and the scoreboard prompts you for the PAT/2-point choice. The attempt logs as made or missed, and the score updates accordingly.
Can I track down and distance?
Yes. The scoreboard tracks 1st through 4th down with automatic first-down detection, turnovers on downs, and field position. Tap through each play to update yardage.
Does the play clock work automatically?
You can enable the 25s/40s play clock in the setup form. It starts automatically when the game clock runs and warns you when it hits 5 seconds. Disable it for flag football or rec games that don't enforce it.
Can I use this on a phone courtside?
Absolutely. The scoreboard is fully responsive and works on phones, tablets, and desktops. Use it on the sideline on your phone, on a tablet in the press box, or full-screen it on a laptop connected to a projector.
Does the football scoreboard work offline?
Yes. Once the page is loaded, the scoreboard runs entirely offline. Your game state is saved locally, so even if you lose connection during a game your scores are preserved.
Can I resume a game later?
Yes. If you close the tab or lose connection mid-game, open the scoreboard again and you'll see a Game In Progress banner. Tap Resume to pick up from the exact clock, score, and down you left.
