LiveScored - Open Live Sports Scores
A free, ad-light live-scores platform I built and run - real-time scores, standings and news across 19+ sports, refreshing every 30 seconds, as a fast installable PWA. Built on free public data, no paywalls, no tracking.
Scope: Solo build: multi-sport data aggregation, real-time scores, PWA, command palette - live at livescored.net.
Most livescore apps are buried in ads and trackers, cover a couple of sports well and bury the rest, and gate the good features behind an account. LiveScored is the opposite: every sport, sub-minute updates, ad-light and private — built on free public data.

Ad-light & private
Built on free public data (ESPN, TheSportsDB, OpenF1, Liquipedia, Wikipedia) — no paywalls, no tracking.
The Challenge
Mainstream livescore apps are heavy with ads and trackers, cover a handful of sports well and bury everything else, and gate the genuinely useful features behind an account. The opening was a fast, honest, ad-light scoreboard that treats breadth (every sport in one place), speed (sub-minute updates) and privacy as first-class - without owning a single proprietary data feed.
The Solution
Built as a Next.js PWA that aggregates free public data sources - ESPN, TheSportsDB, StatsBomb, OpenF1, Liquipedia and Wikipedia - each transparently credited. Live scores, lineups and standings across 19+ sports (soccer, basketball, NFL, MLB, NHL, tennis, cricket, motorsport, MMA, esports and more) auto-refresh every 30 seconds. A date calendar, favourites/watchlist, trending matches, embedded headlines and a Cmd-K command palette make navigation instant; it installs offline as a PWA and has a fullscreen TV view. Ships ad-light and privacy-first with no account required.
Client
Self-initiated · Live product (livescored.net)
“I built LiveScored because every livescore site I used was buried in ads and trackers and still only did one or two sports well. It pulls from free public data, covers 19+ sports in one fast PWA, and stays ad-light and private by default - the same respect-the-user, ship-it-properly discipline I bring to client work.”
