LemonScore

Digital scoreboard for the football pitch

An LED wall at the side of the pitch on which LemonScore shows the score, the match clock and your sponsors' advertising. One volunteer runs it from a phone, and the advertising slots the club sells help pay for the wall.

Already have an LED wall? See the scoreboard software

Since May 2026 a 5 x 3 m wall has been running LemonScore at a club in the canton of Zurich. At Swiss U20 internationals, too, the score and match clock come from LemonScore.

Two routes to a digital scoreboard

What decides it is whether your ground already has an LED wall.

The wall is already there

LemonScore runs on Windows and macOS and drives any LED wall over HDMI or directly through a Novastar controller. Score, match clock and sponsor banners are set up within an hour.

Wall, installation and software from one source

Our installation partner supplies and installs the wall, we set up LemonScore in your club colours and train your volunteers. The configurator shows size and guide price straight away.

CHF 2'000–2'500

per m² all-in as a guide price. A 3 x 2 m wall therefore comes to CHF 12'000 to 15'000.

Behind the display: steelwork, foundation and cabling are the installation partner's job and are quoted separately after the site visit.

Sponsors help pay for the wall

Rotating banners below the score, the goal animation with a sponsor's logo and half-time spots are advertising slots you sell one by one. That way a wall is often paid for after two to three seasons.

CHF 600–1'200

per slot and season, a guide value for the Swiss 3rd and 4th divisions

How clubs sell the slots is explained on advertising on the scoreboard.
