Free basketball scoreboard online for the table and gym TV

The scorekeeper taps free throws, twos, and threes on a phone at the scorer's table. The live score shows on a gym TV, a projector, or parents' phones through a share link. Use it for pickup runs, rec league games, practices, PE classes, and small tournaments. For a plain two-team board with no basketball rules, start with the scoreboard maker.

One person keeps score. Viewers who open the share link can watch but cannot change the score. There is no game clock or shot clock, so run time on your own timer. Last updated: September 25, 2026

Decide scoring rules before tipoff

Pickup and rec games go smoother when the group agrees the format before the first possession. Write it where people can see it: "Game to 15, 1s and 2s, win by 2."

Rule	Common choice
Scoring increments	1s and 2s for pickup, or 2s and 3s for standard basketball
Game target	First to 11, 15, or 21 for pickup
Win condition	Win by 1 or win by 2
Game length	Target score, timed halves, or quarters
