The grandparent three states away, the parent stuck at work, the player home sick: until now they waited for a text with the final score. **Game Day** changes that. Your scorekeeper keeps score from the sideline, someone on your team streams the game from a phone, and everyone on your team follows along live. When the final whistle blows, the score stays on the game and the video is saved for your team to watch again. Here is how to run it, from the week before kickoff to film review. ![A game's Game Day tab on a phone before kickoff, with Begin Stream on the Live stream card and Launch Scoreboard on the Scoreboard card.](https://footballplaycard.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog-Content/Product-Update-Release-Notes/2026-10-Fall-Release/Football-Play-Card-Game-Day-Before-Kickoff-Phone.jpg?width=275&height=400&name=Football-Play-Card-Game-Day-Before-Kickoff-Phone.jpg) *Before kickoff, every game on your schedule has its Live stream and Scoreboard cards ready on Game Day.* --- ## Where to Find Game Day Every game on your team schedule opens on its **Game Day** tab. Select **Schedule** in the side menu and pick the game. When a game is your team's next event, the top of the Schedule screen also shows a **Game Day** button until kickoff. See [What is Game Day, and who can see it?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/what-is-game-day) Game Day has a card for each part of the game: the **Live stream**, the saved **Videos**, the **Scoreboard**, the game info and the weather forecast. ![The Game Day tab on a phone after a high school night game, with Begin Stream and the game video saved in two parts.](https://footballplaycard.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog-Content/Product-Update-Release-Notes/2026-10-Fall-Release/Football-Play-Card-Game-Day-Phone-Videos.jpg?width=210&height=400&name=Football-Play-Card-Game-Day-Phone-Videos.jpg) *After a night game: the Live stream card on top, and the game saved in two parts under Videos.* --- ## Before Kickoff - **Set your league's rules once.** Football Play Card comes with four common sets of game rules: flag on a 50, 60 or 80-yard field, and tackle on a 100-yard field. Save your league's own periods, timeouts, downs and blitz limits, make them your team default, and every new game starts with them. See [How do I set up game rules for my league?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/how-do-i-set-up-game-rules) - **Pick your scorekeeper.** Every coach can keep score. To hand the job to a parent or a player, add them in the game's **Scorekeeper(s)** field. On a repeating game, they keep score for every date. See [How do I keep score live on Game Day?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/how-do-i-keep-score-on-game-day) - **Update the app.** Streaming needs the latest Football Play Card mobile app, so have whoever is streaming update it from the App Store or Google Play before game day. See [How do I stream a game from my phone?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/how-do-i-stream-a-game) - **Share the score with everyone else.** Coaches can turn on the **Public spectator link** on the Scoreboard card, then copy it or share it by text. Anyone can follow the live score in a browser, with no account and no app. The video stays private to your team. See [How do I share the live score with people who don't have an account?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/how-do-i-share-the-live-score) ![The Confirm game rules screen on a phone before kickoff: Flag, a 50-yard field, line to gain at midfield, 2 halves of 20 minutes, 2 timeouts per half, and the Start game button.](https://footballplaycard.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog-Content/Product-Update-Release-Notes/2026-10-Fall-Release/Football-Play-Card-Game-Day-Confirm-Rules-Phone.jpg?width=208&height=400&name=Football-Play-Card-Game-Day-Confirm-Rules-Phone.jpg) *When you launch the scoreboard, your rules come up one last time: field, downs, periods and timeouts. Changes apply to that game only.* --- ## During the Game ### Keep Score from the Sideline Select **Launch Scoreboard** on the Scoreboard card, confirm the rules and select **Start game**. One tap adds a touchdown, a point after or a safety, and a field goal where your rules allow it. The clock, the quarter, timeouts, possession and downs are all on the same screen, and **Undo last** stays pinned to the bottom for the tap you did not mean. See [How do I keep score live on Game Day?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/how-do-i-keep-score-on-game-day) ![The live scoreboard in the 2nd quarter at 14 to 6, with the clock, possession, downs and scoring buttons.](https://footballplaycard.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge-Base/Fall-2026-Release/kb37-1-scoreboard-live.jpg?width=229&height=400&name=kb37-1-scoreboard-live.jpg) *The scorekeeper's phone during a game. Undo last stays pinned to the bottom.* ### Stream the Game from a Phone Coaches, players with an account, and Parent/Guardian and Family & Friend followers can go live from the mobile app. Open the game, select **Go Live** and allow the camera and microphone. The app tests your connection and recommends the best quality your signal can hold. Everyone who can watch gets a notification that the game is live. See [How do I stream a game from my phone?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/how-do-i-stream-a-game) ![The Video settings dialog on a phone after the connection test, with 720p marked Recommended above 480p and 360p, and the Continue button.](https://footballplaycard.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog-Content/Product-Update-Release-Notes/2026-10-Fall-Release/Football-Play-Card-Game-Day-Video-Settings-Phone.jpg?width=240&height=400&name=Football-Play-Card-Game-Day-Video-Settings-Phone.jpg) *Before you go live, the app tests your signal, recommends a quality and shows how much data a 2-hour game uses.* A few habits make a good stream: - **Stay in the app with the screen on.** Leaving the app for more than about 15 seconds ends the stream, and on iPhone so does locking the screen or taking a call. - **Keep the phone steady.** A fence post or a tripod beats a hand-held shot. - **Bring a charger.** A stream can run for up to 4 hours. - **Mind the microphone.** Every stream is recorded and saved for your team, and the app reminds you before you go live, so keep huddles and private conversations out of range. - **Filming with a camera and a computer?** On the website, select **Begin Stream**, then **I have an encoder**, to stream with software such as OBS. ### Follow Along from Anywhere Everyone on your team sees the score move on its own on Game Day, with nothing to refresh. While someone is streaming, **Watch Live** plays the game right on the same tab, for up to 20 people at once. The video is for your team only: coaches, the players invited to the game, and Parent/Guardian and Family & Friend followers. See [How do I follow a game live?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/how-do-i-follow-a-game-live) Score changes do not buzz everyone's phone. Instead, the game's **Discussion** tab gets a line at every score, change of possession and quarter, and at the final score, so anyone who checks in late can catch up.

Ended it too early? **Reopen game** brings it back. See [How do I keep score live on Game Day?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/how-do-i-keep-score-on-game-day) - **Watch it again with Game Videos.** Every streamed game is saved for your team. It shows up under **Videos** on the game a few minutes after the stream ends. If the stream stopped and started again, each stretch is saved as its own part. See [How do I watch a recorded game?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/how-do-i-watch-a-recorded-game) - **Every game in one place.** The **Videos** page in the side menu lists every game your team has saved. Search by opponent, or show only home or away games, and last week's game is ready for film review. See [How do I watch a recorded game?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/how-do-i-watch-a-recorded-game) - **Keep only what you want.** Coaches can delete a saved part, like a warm-up nobody needs. It is deleted for everyone on the team and cannot be undone. See [How do I watch a recorded game?](https://knowledge.footballplaycard.com/how-do-i-watch-a-recorded-game) ![A saved night game playing on Game Day, saved in two parts because the stream stopped and started again, above the Final scoreboard: Saints 13, Bengals 0.](https://footballplaycard.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog-Content/Product-Update-Release-Notes/2026-10-Fall-Release/Football-Play-Card-Game-Day-Saved-Game-Final.jpg?width=604&height=455&name=Football-Play-Card-Game-Day-Saved-Game-Final.jpg) *After the final whistle, the saved game sits right above the final score.

Search by opponent, or show only home or away games.* --- ## Who Sees What - **Coaches** do it all: keep score, stream, watch, and turn on the public link. - **Players with an account** follow every game and watch the games they are invited to. They can stream, and keep score when a coach picks them. - **Parent/Guardian and Family & Friend followers** follow, watch and stream, and keep score when a coach picks them. A player under 13 has no account, so their parent follows Game Day for them. - **Fans** follow the live score, but not the video. - **Anyone with the public link** sees the live score in a browser, never the video. --- ## Which Plans Include Game Day Game Day and Game Videos come with State Champion plans and above, the same as the team schedule. Anyone on your team can follow the live score. Keeping score, streaming and watching the video need a State Champion plan, which the players and followers you invite normally have through your team. The people you invite never pay. --- ## Try Game Day at Your Next Game Update the Football Play Card mobile app, open your next game on the schedule, and select **Launch Scoreboard**. **👉 [Log in and try Game Day now.](https://app.footballplaycard.com/)** Game Day is one part of the Fall 2026 release.
