Need to know
Common questions about football scoreboards
Goals, cards, halftime and full-time — how football scoring works here.
How do I create a football scoreboard online?
Go to Create Match, choose Football, enter both team names, pick your format (5-a-side, 7-a-side, or 11-a-side), and set a short scoring password. Your live scoreboard is ready in under 30 seconds - no account needed.
Do I need to download an app to track football scores?
No. Score My Match runs entirely in your mobile browser. No download, no install - just open the link and start scoring.
Can I share live football scores on WhatsApp?
Yes. After creating the match you get a public viewer link. Drop it into any WhatsApp group and everyone who taps it sees the live score, updated in real time, without logging in.
What football formats does it support?
You can choose 5-a-side (45 min total), 7-a-side (60 min), or 11-a-side (90 min). The scorer page includes halftime and full-time controls, and the match clock tracks both halves continuously.
Can I track goals, yellow cards, and red cards?
Yes. The scorer page has large buttons for goals and cards for each team. You can optionally add a player name when logging a goal, but it is never required - the goal is recorded the moment you tap, and the name is asked afterwards.
Can I record assists, penalties, and own goals?
Yes. After you name a scorer you can add an assist, and any goal can be marked as a penalty or an own goal. All three are optional and appear only once you need them, so a plain goal is still a single tap. An own goal is credited to the team that benefits, with the name of the player who put it into their own net.
Can I record a penalty shootout?
Yes. If the scores are level at full time you can settle the match on penalties. Tap Scored or Missed after each kick and viewers see a live dot-by-dot shootout, with the result reading something like "Rangers won 4-3 on penalties".
Does it show who scored and a match timeline?
Yes. The viewer page builds a minute-by-minute timeline of every goal and card, plus a scorers list per team showing goals, assists, and the minutes they were scored. Braces and hat-tricks are labelled automatically, and a second yellow card is shown as a sending-off without you recording anything extra.
How do I stop others from changing the score?
When you create the match you set a short scoring password (like GOAL5). Only someone with that password can update the score, the viewer link is always public and read-only.
How long does the football scoreboard stay active?
The scoreboard stays live for 30 days from the last score update. Share the link before kick-off and it will be valid through the full match and for weeks after.
Is the football scoreboard free?
Yes, completely free. No credit card, no subscription, no account. Score My Match is free for all local and casual football matches.
How can you split players before creating the scoreboard?
Choose the number of people playing, count everyone from one, and let the random team generator split those numbers into two near-even sides. Nobody has to type names or build a roster. Review the draw for ability and positions, then create the live football scoreboard with the chosen team names.
