Two Ways to Share

Live Scorecard Link or Facebook Live Broadcast

Use the simple scorecard link for fast sharing, or connect Facebook Live when you want a video broadcast with overlay.

Option 1

Live Scorecard Link

Every match can create a shareable scorecard URL. Spectators open it in a browser and follow the match ball by ball. This is the simplest option when you do not need video.

  • Fast scorecard sharing
  • Works in a browser
  • Share on WhatsApp, SMS or social platforms
Option 2

Facebook Live Video

Connect Facebook Live and broadcast a real cricket video with a scoreboard overlay. This is best for clubs, schools, tournaments, and gully matches that want viewers on Facebook.

  • Facebook Live video stream
  • Cricket scoreboard overlay
  • One-time Stream Key setup when available
What You Need

No OBS Workflow. Use the App, Facebook Live and Your Stream Key.

The goal is simple: score the match and broadcast it without building a desktop streaming setup.

OBS Studio

A desktop streaming tool used by many broadcasters. Useful, but not required for this app workflow.

Step by Step

How to Live Stream Cricket on Facebook

Use Facebook Live Producer once, connect your Stream Key, then score and broadcast the match from Live Cricket Scoring.

Check Facebook Live Eligibility

Before setup, confirm that the Facebook account, Page or professional profile you want to use can go live. Facebook may apply account age, follower and access requirements.

Before setup

Open Facebook Live Producer

Go to facebook.com/live/create. Choose where the live video should be posted, click Go live, then select Streaming software as the video source.

Important: Facebook says standard Stream Keys cannot be reused unless you enable the Persistent Stream Key option. Use persistent key if you want the same setup for future matches.

Copy the Stream Key

Facebook shows the Stream Key and may also show a Server URL for streaming software. Copy the Stream Key and keep the Server URL available if your app version asks for it.

Copy carefully

Paste the Key in Live Cricket Scoring

Open Live Cricket Scoring, go to Broadcast Settings, choose Facebook Live, and paste the Stream Key into the broadcast field.

One-time setup if persistent

Create and Score the Match

Create your cricket match, enter teams, overs and toss details, then score each delivery. The app uses the scoring data to update the cricket scoreboard overlay.

Go Live and Share

Start the broadcast from the app, preview it in Facebook Live Producer if needed, then share the Facebook Live post or the live scorecard link with spectators.

Broadcast
Facebook Live note: Facebook’s live streaming access and destination options can depend on your account, Page, professional profile, follower count, role access and privacy settings. Always confirm your Facebook Live Producer settings before match day.
What Spectators See

A Cricket Broadcast on Facebook Live With Match Data

Spectators watch the match on Facebook Live while the overlay shows the live cricket score, overs, wickets, batsmen, bowler, run rate and other match details.

The key advantage is that the same ball-by-ball scoring action updates both the scorecard and the Facebook broadcast overlay.

  • Facebook Live video with scoreboard overlay
  • Score, wickets and overs on screen
  • Batting, bowling and run-rate data
  • Works alongside live scorecard sharing
  • Useful for club, school, gully and tournament cricket
