Free
2 welcome matches with the scoreboard, lower thirds, line-ups and result. No card needed.
For families
Stream your kids’ matches like they’re on TV
A scoreboard, goals with the scorer’s name and line-ups on top of the stream you make with OBS. So grandparents, aunts and uncles, and anyone who couldn’t make it can enjoy the match from home. You control it from your phone, on the sideline.
Your first 2 matches are free. Player names are optional.
What changes
From a plain video to their match
You already bring the camera. OBSfootball adds what makes the match easy to follow and enjoy from home.
You can always tell how it’s going
The scoreboard and the clock are on screen the whole match. Anyone who joins halfway through gets it at a glance.
Their goal, with their name
When they score, a lower third with their name and the minute appears for ten seconds. If you’d rather not use names, the shirt number is enough.
One link for the family group chat
The match page has the time, the countdown and the button to watch it on your channel. Share it on WhatsApp or with a QR code.
An ordinary Saturday
How a match plays out with OBSfootball
An example match morning for an under-12 team. The times are approximate.

You set up the broadcast
Tripod, camera connected to the laptop and OBS open with the OBSfootball browser source. You leave it ready from the first match on.

Kick-off
On your phone you tap Start production and Start the match. The scoreboard appears on the broadcast with the clock running.

Final whistle
The result comes up with the goalscorers. Once you close the match, the result stays on the match page for anyone who couldn’t watch live.
This graphic comes with every plan, including the free matches.
What you need
Gear from home, TV-style result
OBSfootball doesn’t broadcast the video: it puts the graphics on top of your stream. Here is what you need.
A computer with OBS Studio
OBS is a free program for Windows, macOS and Linux. That is where you combine the camera and the graphics.
A camera
A camcorder, a webcam or a phone that you connect to OBS as a camera.
A connection at the field
Club Wi-Fi or mobile data. The more upload speed you have, the better the broadcast will look.
A channel to broadcast on
Your YouTube, Twitch or Kick channel. You add the link to the match page.
A phone for the control
Yours or the phone of whoever helps you. It opens in the browser, with nothing to install.
A tripod
The higher and steadier it is, the easier it is to follow the ball. A microphone is optional.
Minors and privacy
You decide what is shown
These are children. That is why names are optional and nothing from their player profile is published unless the club switches it on.
- Shirt numbers only, if you prefer. The graphics work the same without names.
- The public squad is off until the club switches it on, and when it does, a warning about minors is shown.
- The club chooses which teams and matches appear on its public page.
Before you broadcast, ask the team’s families for permission. The broadcast and its images are the responsibility of whoever makes it, not of OBSfootball.
What it costs
Start free. If you like it, talk it over with the club.
The plan belongs to the club or the team that creates it. Whoever helps with the control doesn’t pay.
Match Pass · €4.90
One match with the team’s look: its color in the graphics, its crest on the scoreboard and its hashtag. 24 hours from when you start.
Pro · €19/month
Every match of the team, with statistics and the result image for social media.
Does the club already use OBSfootball? Ask them to invite you to the match as an operator: you run the control and pay nothing.
Questions from families
What we get asked on the sideline
Can I stream with just my phone?
For the graphics you need OBS, which runs on a computer. The phone is for running the control, and it can also act as the camera if you connect it to OBS.
Does the club have to sign up?
It isn’t required: anyone can create the team’s space. Even so, it is best to do it together with the club and the coach, so that every family agrees.
Are the children’s names shown?
Only if someone types them in. Names are optional, and the squad on the public page stays off until the club switches it on.
Where do relatives watch it?
On your YouTube, Twitch or Kick channel. On the match page they get the time, the countdown, the button to watch it and a file to add it to their calendar.
How much does it cost?
The first 2 matches are free. After that, €4.90 per match with Match Pass or €19/month with Pro to broadcast as many as you like.
