- Sell sponsor slots on your own screens with Ad Space
- Start with one hospitality floor. Enterprise from £30 a TV a month
Welcome to matchday
What makes NowBoard different
Five reasons NowBoard is different.
Screens that make you money
Local businesses pay to advertise on your screens. You approve every advert and keep most of what they pay.
Run it from your phone
Change any screen in seconds from a phone or tablet, from the tunnel or the office.
Works on the TVs you have
Android TV, Raspberry Pi, or any Windows PC, Mac or Chromebook in a web browser.
Ready-made for matchday
Boards for directories, dining, timings and offers. Change a time or a price without a designer.
AI and your own designs
Describe a Board and AI designs it, or lay out your own. No graphic designer needed.
Ad Space share: you keep 70% on Free, 80% on Starter, 87% on Professional and 92% on Enterprise, before card fees. Prices exclude VAT.
Why NowBoard
Made for hospitality. Run by your own team.
A stadium has three other ways to put information on these screens. Here’s how they compare.

What’s on the wall now
Matchday is busy. The screens should keep up.
Suite menus, timings and sponsor messages end up printed, pinned or forgotten. Sound familiar?
The printed menu
Printed on Friday. The kitchen changes a dish on Saturday morning.
Kick-off moves
TV moves the game to 17:30. Thirty suites need telling, fast.
The sponsor list
Sponsor slots live on a spreadsheet. Proving they ran is hard.
The bar TV
It shows the match, which is right. Nothing else gets a look in.
Your TVs, each with a job
One screen per space. Each with its own job.
Pick a Board, type in your details, and it’s on the TV. Every Board is ready to use, and you can change any of them.

The screens shown are examples. Fixtures, line-ups and results are typed in by your team; NowBoard does not pull in live match data.
Matchday
Plan matchday once. The screens follow the day.
Choose when each Board shows, and the suite TV changes through the day by itself. Tap a time to see it.
Changing through the day comes with Professional and Enterprise.
Update from anywhere
Kick-off moved? Every suite knows in seconds.
Kick-off 15:00
No laptop, no printer, no walk round every suite. Hospitality, catering or operations can each change their own Boards from a phone, a tablet or a computer. Try it: change the details and press Update the TVs.
Made for your venue
It looks like your club, not like ours.
- Your crest and coloursAdd them once and every Board on every TV uses them.
- Easy to read across a busy roomLarge type and strong contrast, read from the table or the bar.
- One thing at a timeNow and Next shows what’s happening and what comes after. Nothing else.
- Four languagesEnglish, Welsh, French and Spanish, on every plan.
Matchday and emergency alerts
When plans change, every screen at once.
One tap puts the same message on every TV in the venue. One more tap puts everything back as it was.
Ready-made alerts for a fire, a fire drill, an urgent notice, building work and a missing person, plus your own messages. They come with Professional and Enterprise.

Getting it on the TV
It works on the TVs you already have.
Any TV with an HDMI socket will do. Each TV needs an internet connection, over Wi-Fi or a cable.
The NowBoard app
Runs on compatible Android TVs and TV sticks, a Windows PC, or in a web browser.
Player Pro
A small box that plugs into the TV’s HDMI socket, starts itself and just plays. Optional.
We can fit it for you
Our installer comes to your venue. UK only.
All prices exclude VAT. If we supply a TV, you pay what it costs us. Your IT or AV team can ask us for the network details they need.
Optional · Ad Space
Turn every screen into sponsor income.
Ad Space is off unless you turn it on. You choose which screens show adverts, and you approve every one.
Who might advertise? Your sponsors and partners, and local businesses your fans use: car dealers, pubs, builders, hotels. You approve every advert and decide what fits.
An example, not a promise of income: what you earn depends on what you sell. NowBoard takes a share of each advert (Starter 20%, Professional 13%, Enterprise 8%; 30% on Free). Card payment fees come off before you are paid. Prices exclude VAT.
