Live sports streaming is no longer just about showing the game.
Viewers now expect professional visuals, clear scoreboards,
and graphics that match the style of the match, tournament, or brand.
With the new features from Live Now,
you can design your own scoreboards, posters, lineups, and match banners
and use them directly in your live streams.
Each overlay is fully customizable, unique, and created by you —
no more generic or duplicated designs.
What Is Live Now Overlay Designer?
Live Now Overlay Designer is a web-based design tool that allows you to
create custom overlays for live sports streaming.
No coding skills are required, and you don’t need complex design software.
You can access the designer at:

The designer currently supports four overlay types:
- Scoreboard – the main score display used throughout the match
- Poster – match introduction or announcement graphics
- Lineup – starting players and substitutes
- Match Banner – mid-match or end-of-match summary graphics
After finishing your design, simply export the overlay file
and import it into the Live Now mobile app.
