Padel scoreboard app
A padel scoreboard keeps the score of one match point by point: 15, 30, 40, games, sets and tie-breaks. This one is a free padel score keeper that runs in your phone’s browser, with golden point, star point or advantage at 40–40, an undo for every tap and a big screen view the whole hall can follow.
Golden Point is the standard in most tournaments.
In short
- Free, no app, no login: the padel scoreboard runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or laptop.
- Three rules at 40–40: golden point (one deciding point), star point (two advantages, then a deciding point) or advantage (win by two).
- Five match lengths: best of three sets, best of three with a super tie-break in the third, one set, a pro set to 8 games, or a super tie-break to 10.
- Every tap can be undone, even across a game or a set, and the match is saved on the device, so a refresh does not lose it.
- One link for the big screen: the live score on any TV or laptop in the hall.

How does a padel scoreboard count the score?
Padel is scored like tennis, and the scoreboard follows rule 1 of the FIP Rules of Padel. You tap the pair that wins each point, and it does the rest:
| Unit | How it is won | What the scoreboard shows |
|---|---|---|
| Point | 0, 15, 30, 40, then the game | 0, 15, 30, 40, and Ad on advantage |
| Game | Four points, or the deciding point at 40–40 | Games in the current set |
| Set | 6 games with a two-game lead, tie-break at 6–6 | One column per set, 7–6 after a tie-break |
| Tie-break | 7 points with a two-point lead | Points as 1, 2, 3 |
| Super tie-break | 10 points with a two-point lead, instead of a deciding set | Points as 1, 2, 3, marked STB |
The serve marker moves to the other pair after every game. In a tie-break it changes after the first point and then every two points, as the rules prescribe. A pro set works the same way, only to 8 games with the tie-break at 8–8.
Golden point, star point or advantage: which rule should you pick?
At 40–40 there are three ways to finish the game, and rule 1 of the FIP Rules of Padel (2026 edition) lists all three as equal options. The scoreboard knows all three and highlights the deciding point when it comes.
| Rule at 40–40 | What happens | Longest possible game |
|---|---|---|
| Golden point | One deciding point wins the game. The receiving pair chooses the side. | 7 points |
| Star point | Up to two advantages. At the third deuce, one deciding point, the star point, wins the game. | 11 points |
| Advantage | Play on until one pair wins two points in a row. | No limit |
Star point is the newest of the three. The FIP General Assembly adopted it unanimously on 28 November 2025, and from 2026 it is used on Premier Padel, the CUPRA FIP Tour, FIP Promises and the amateur FIP Beyond tour. Golden point gives the shortest and most predictable games, which matters when the next match is waiting for the court; advantage gives the longest. The full rules are on the padel rules page, and padel scoring explained walks through every case.
How long does a padel match take?
About 75 minutes for best of three sets with golden point, 60 with a super tie-break in the third and 30 for one set; star point and advantage add up to 15 minutes. The figures below are slot lengths for club play, with warm-up and changeovers included: the same estimates PadelLoop uses when it plans a round robin, with the realistic range in brackets. Star point and advantage add time because games can run on at deuce.
| Match format | Golden Point | Star Point | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best of 3 sets | 75 min (60–90) | 80 min (65–95) | 90 min (70–110) |
| Best of 3 · super tie-break in the 3rd | 60 min (50–75) | 65 min (55–80) | 70 min (60–85) |
| One set | 30 min (20–40) | 30 min (20–40) | 35 min (25–45) |
| Pro set to 8 games | 45 min (35–60) | 45 min (35–60) | 50 min (40–65) |
| Super tie-break only (to 10) | 15 min (10–20), no deuce | 15 min (10–20), no deuce | 15 min (10–20), no deuce |
They are estimates, not promises. Two evenly matched pairs playing advantage can run past the top of the range, which is why a final with a crowd waiting is often played with a super tie-break in the third set. Planning a whole evening rather than one match? The padel planner works out how many rounds fit in the time you have booked.

Padel scoreboard: common questions
Is the padel scoreboard free?
Yes. The padel scoreboard is free, with no app to install and no account to create. It runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or laptop, in English, Norwegian, Spanish, Danish and Swedish. The big screen link is free as well, and scoring a single match is not held back for a paid plan.
Which scoring rules does the scoreboard follow?
Rule 1 of the FIP Rules of Padel: 0, 15, 30, 40 and game, sets of six games with a two-game lead, and a tie-break to seven at 6–6. At 40–40 you choose golden point, star point or advantage before the match, and the scoreboard applies that rule to every game and marks the deciding point.
Can the scoreboard play star point?
Yes. Pick star point before the match and the scoreboard plays the first two deuces with advantage and marks the third as the deciding point, so a game lasts at most 11 points. It is the FIP rule adopted in November 2025, used from 2026 on Premier Padel, the CUPRA FIP Tour, FIP Promises and FIP Beyond.
What if I tap the wrong team?
Press Undo. Every point is stored in order, so you can step back as far as you need, even across a game or set boundary, and Redo puts a point back. The match is also saved on the device, so reloading the page or closing the browser by mistake does not lose the score.
Can spectators see the score on a TV?
Yes. Press Show on big screen to get a short link you can open on any TV, laptop or tablet in the hall. The screen updates live with every point you enter on the phone, shows the match name and class if you added them, and players can open the same link on their own phones.
Can I use it for a whole tournament?
No, the scoreboard follows one match at a time, ball by ball. For a whole evening, such as an Americano, a Mexicano, a round robin or a Monrad, use PadelLoop’s free tournament generator: it draws the rounds, rotates the players and keeps the standings live. The finals can then be scored here, each on its own big screen.
