What a football scoreboard does
A football scoreboard shows the score and the match clock so everyone in the ground reads the same numbers. JudgeMate runs one live match at a time: two halves of 45 minutes, a clock that counts up and holds for stoppage time.
Add a yellow or red card as the referee shows it, make your substitutions, and push the score the moment the ball crosses the line. If the tie goes to extra time, the board carries two 15-minute halves and then a penalty shootout.
The board scores one match and makes no offside calls — you referee, it keeps the count. For a season table, add each match to a JudgeMate league and it builds the standings, top scorers and cards from the results.
Built for a live football match
Count-up clock with stoppage
The clock runs from 0:00 and keeps going through stoppage time, the way a referee times a match. Move to the second half, extra time, or a shootout without resetting your work.
Score in one tap
Add a goal for either side as it happens. The board shows the running score big enough to read from the far touchline or the back of a hall.
Cards, subs, and shootout
Log yellow and red cards, track substitutions, and switch to a penalty shootout when a knockout stays level after extra time.

Football scoreboard FAQ
How long is a football match?
Ninety minutes of play, split into two halves of 45 minutes, plus stoppage time the referee adds at the end of each half. Knockout ties can go to two 15-minute periods of extra time and then a penalty shootout.
Can I show it on a TV?
Yes. Open the board in any browser and cast or plug it into a TV, or leave it on a tablet or kiosk screen. The score and clock scale to the display.
Is it free?
Yes, the scoreboard is free to use. Start a board for your match, run it for the full ninety, and open as many matches as you like.
Do I need an account?
No login is needed to start a board and score a match. Create a free account only if you want to save a match and come back to it later.
Does the clock stop for stoppage time?
No. Football keeps a running clock, so JudgeMate counts up without pausing. Stoppage time is added on top at the end of each half, and you keep the board live until the referee blows the whistle.
