Sponsor time per match phase
Set seconds per sponsor for pre-match, first half, second half, half-time and post-match. That follows the contract — not a hand-built 60-second loop.

Scoreboard and Signage — match display and TVs in the building
Scoreboard for the match. Signage for always-on TVs in the cafeteria, entrance or concourse.
Matchday PC: system requirements. Licences, downloads and activations are managed in the customer portal. Always-on TVs in the building sit in ArenaCue Signage.
What sets ArenaCue Scoreboard apart
The features that run matchday automatically
Not a standalone timer and not a manual ad loop. ArenaCue ties score, visuals and sponsor time into one Windows app — runnable by one person.
01 02 Automatic spread across the phase
The software schedules clips across the whole phase. Clips play out in full; you do not reshuffle a playlist live.
03 Pause and resume on match events
A goal, card, substitution or overlay stops the current sponsor clip. Rotation then continues — score and clock stay correct.
04 Live sponsor HUD
The operator sees who should be on screen, remaining clip time and budget used — without leaving the control desk.
05 Proof-of-play in PDF and Excel
Every completed play is logged. After the match you export actual seconds per sponsor for invoicing and your commercial team.
06 Beside the scoreboard or fullscreen
During playing halves the sponsor runs beside the scoreboard. Pre-match, half-time and post-match can be fullscreen — you configure that.
07 Match sponsor before kick-off
Set a kick-off time. From a configurable lead time the screen shows the chosen match sponsor fullscreen, not the full playlist.
08 Players, line-ups and moment visuals
Photos, squad numbers, team and player intros, goal visual, substitution and card. One click at the desk; the screen follows.
09 Built for one operator
Score, clock, phases, visuals and sponsors live in the same control panel. No second person for the media loop.
10 Multi-sport clocks
Football, futsal, basketball (24/14 shot clock), volleyball (sets) and hockey (penalties). Same app, sport profile per match.
11 Offline on matchday, mobile alongside
The match runs locally with no required internet. ArenaCue Mobile pairs over LAN (QR) or optionally via the cloud.
12 Livestream from the control desk
YouTube, Twitch or custom RTMP from the same control panel. Camera or display, score overlay and optional recording — without separate broadcast software for the basic flow.
13 Full package, two Windows PCs
No feature tiers. Two activations (control + spare), media library, cues, external capture, themes and venue backup are included.

Frequently asked questions
Scoreboard & Signage
Answers to what clubs ask most before buying. More on price and cancellation is on pricing.
- Is everything included in the ArenaCue Scoreboard subscription?
- Yes. For €99 per month (excl. VAT) you get the full scoreboard package: score, sponsors, media, proof-of-play, livestream, mobile, cloud and two Windows activations.
- Can I livestream from ArenaCue?
- Yes. The Scoreboard control panel has a livestream tab: YouTube, Twitch or custom RTMP, with camera or display, score overlay and optional recording. A dedicated GPU with NVENC is strongly recommended. Internet is needed for the upload, not for local scoreboard control.
- Does ArenaCue Scoreboard work offline on matchday?
- Yes. Score, display, sponsor rotation and local mobile pairing over LAN work without internet. Only licence activation and the periodic licence check need online contact.
- What is proof-of-play?
- ArenaCue logs which sponsor clips actually appeared on screen. After the match you export a per-sponsor report to PDF or Excel for commercial follow-up.
- Can I pause sponsors on a goal?
- Yes. Running sponsor clips freeze on goals, cards, substitutions and other overlays, then resume where they left off.
- How do I control the scoreboard with my phone?
- With the ArenaCue Mobile app (Android) you pair via QR on LAN or via cloud when your venue is set up for it.
- Can I arrange the scoreboard myself?
- Yes. In Arrange the screen you drag every box freely, add your own text, images or a team name and keep several layouts. You let a different layout be picked per sport or match phase, and try a design on the stadium screen for 60 seconds first.
- Can I put an announcement on the stadium screen?
- Yes. From the Live tab you type an announcement that appears as a band at the top or bottom; a long text scrolls as a ticker. You choose how long it stays and save sentences you use often.
- How do I move ArenaCue to a new PC?
- Make a venue backup on the old PC: one ZIP with the database and all media, including files stored elsewhere on the PC. Install ArenaCue on the new PC, activate your licence and restore the backup; the app restarts with all your data.
- What if I am missing a feature?
- With the Request a feature button in the control panel you describe what you need, with photos if you like. If it already exists, you read at once where to find it; otherwise your request reaches ArenaCue and we look at whether it fits in an update.
- Is LED boarding included?
- No. LED boarding is a separate Windows app we are still developing. It is not part of the Scoreboard subscription.
- What is ArenaCue Signage?
- A cloud dashboard for always-on screens (cafeteria, entrance, concourse), separate from Scoreboard. Priced per screen per month, checkout in the Signage dashboard.
