If you are still spending 30+ minutes getting a broadcast ready, you are not alone.
Most production companies know the feeling.
The client sends over a last-minute team sheet. The graphics folder is a mess. The scoreboard still is not updated for the weekend’s fixtures.
And somehow, it always ends up being a 30 to 40-minute scramble before going live.
That is exactly where a lot of broadcasters were before switching to OBScoreboard, a software built specifically for sports broadcasting teams who want overlays, line-ups, and sponsor graphics handled in minutes, not hours.
From Manual Chaos to One-Click Control

Let’s take an example.
A mid-sized production company in the UK was managing over 15 live matches every weekend across football & rugby. Each match required someone to manually prepare scoreboards, player line-ups, and sponsor slots in Photoshop and vMix Title Designer.
Every match setup took between 25 and 40 minutes. Multiply that by 15, and they were spending nearly 10 hours a week just preparing graphics.
Once they switched to OBScoreboard, prep time dropped to under 10 minutes per game.
Now, the team uploads team sheets, picks their template, and everything is ready. No exporting files, no resizing logos, no rebuilding overlays from scratch.

Here is what made the difference.
1. Smart Templates for Every Sport
OBScoreboard includes ready-to-use templates for football, rugby, basketball, tennis, and more. Each template works perfectly with vMix, Wirecast, OBS, and Streamlabs.
2. Instant Team Formation Layouts
Line-ups and formations can be added in seconds. Whether it is 4-3-3, 3-5-2, or a custom shape, you just drag, drop, and it is done.
Simply change formation
3. Sponsor Integration Built-In
Companies upload sponsor logos once, and they automatically appear in every layout, with no repetitive setup before each match.
4. Remote Control for Live Updates
During the game, operators can update scores, cards, or substitutions from their phone or tablet. No extra machines or complicated workflows.
The Result: Less Stress, More Focus
The UK company’s broadcast director summed it up perfectly:
“Before OBScoreboard, we had one person just doing graphics full-time on matchdays. Now, it is a two-minute setup and the director handles everything from the control laptop. It has saved us roughly seven hours of prep a week and made us look far more professional on-air.”
That is not just convenience, it is profit.
For most production companies, those saved hours mean more matches, sharper graphics for sponsors, and more time to focus on what actually drives results: producing a high-quality broadcast.
Why This Matters More Than Ever
In live streaming, time and quality go hand in hand.
Viewers expect professional graphics. Clubs expect sponsor placement.
And production companies need tools that help them keep up with that demand, not slow them down.
That is why more and more teams are moving away from manual templates and outdated workflows, choosing modern overlay software like OBScoreboard that keeps every matchday simple and consistent.
