A live pickleball scoreboard for your stream
Pickleball is the hardest score for a viewer to follow, because it is three numbers and the third one is not the score at all. The overlay prints all three and keeps them right.
Paste this into OBS to test it now
A working pickleball overlay with sample players, so you can size and position the source before your first match. When you start a real match, swap this for that match's overlay URL from the launch screen.
Width 1920, height 1080. Untick "Shutdown source when not visible".
What the pickleball scorebug shows
- The full three-number call in side-out scoring: serving team, receiving team, server number
- Team or player names, with a logo slot beside each for club and league streams
- Games won for a best of three
- Serve dots showing whether the first or second server is up
- An optional doubles position tray showing which player is in which box, so viewers can see the stack
Widgets for this sport: Score bug · Serve indicator · Games won · Doubles position tray. Each can be moved, scaled or hidden in the overlay designer.
Browser source dimensions
| Size | When to use it |
|---|---|
| 1920 x 1080 | Full canvas. Use this unless you have a reason not to: widget positions in the designer are pixel-for-pixel what the stream shows. |
| 1280 x 720 | 720p streams. The whole stage scales down, so nothing moves relative to the picture. |
| 820 x 140 | Score bug only. Crop the browser source to the top-left bug if you want the score and nothing else. |
| 820 x 220 | Score bug with the row under it (games won, serve dots, clock or outs, depending on the sport). |
| 1080 x 1920 | Vertical streams for phone-first platforms. Scale the bug up in the designer first. |

Pickleball overlay FAQ
Is there a free pickleball scoreboard overlay for OBS?
Yes. Score a match on any phone and paste the match overlay URL into an OBS Browser source at 1920 x 1080. No account is needed to watch it, and the free plan includes the overlay.
Does the overlay show the 0-0-2 start?
It does. The third number is the server number, so the opening call of a game reads 0-0-2 exactly as it is called on court, and it moves to server 1 and 2 as faults happen.
Can I show team logos on a pickleball stream?
Yes. Logos are uploaded per match on the roster step and sit beside each team name in the bug. Designing your own overlay template needs a paid plan; the default overlay with logos does not.
