ScreenCloud Sports Live Scores App Guide

Please note, if you are using the older version of ScreenCloud (signage.screencloud.com) you can download the alternative Sports Live Scores guide here.

The ScreenCloud Sports Live Scores app allows you to share all of the latest sports scores from your favorite teams, to your digital signage screens. From NBA scores to football and NHL, the Sports Live Scores app is the easiest way to get the latest information and display it for your audience to see. This is perfect for bars, restaurants, and cafés where your customers may want to linger over the scores and a drink or two.

With the ScreenCloud Sports Live Scores app you can:

• Choose scores and fixtures from a variety of different sports
• Get live information on the latest scores, as they happen
• Use multiple versions to show different teams

Please note the Sports Live Scores app is only currently supported in the landscape mode.

Frequently asked questions

What is the time period for scores to pull into the app?

This depends on the schedule of the season or series you are following. The app will normally pull in any scores from games yesterday (i.e. the most recent available day of scores), the current day (i.e. display any games completed or upcoming later in the day), and two from tomorrow (i.e. will display upcoming games). For example, if your series only plays games on Thursdays and Sundays, the app will pull score or upcoming game data according to their schedule.

How often do the scores refresh?

Sports Live Scores app looks for new NFL scores every four minutes and NBA and MLB scores every two minutes.

Can I get other scores to show on my screen?

Sports Live Scores only currently shows scores from the NHL, NFL, NBA, MLB, CBB, and CFB. However, if there is a sport you wish you could show please let our team know using the “Send Feedback” button.

Can I show the scores in the portrait mode?

No, Sports Live Scores app only currently supports landscape viewing.
