Add live scores, soccer fixtures and results, league standings, match statistics and official video highlights through customizable widgets. Choose a widget from the ScoreBat catalog, customize it, then save it to WordPress. Place it on a page using the ScoreBat Football Widget block or a shortcode. You can also create a draft page with your saved widget already added as a block. Whether you run a football news website, a club fan site or a sports blog, you can choose content for your audience without building a live score feed yourself. #### Football widgets you can add * Live scores: display football matches, scores, fixtures and results. * League standings: show league tables and competition information. * Team and match widgets: focus on a team or a match, with available statistics and match details. * Video widgets: display official football highlights from supported video providers. * Scorebar: add a compact football scores widget. Available content and customization options depend on the selected widget and your ScoreBat service plan. Coverage and video availability vary by competition and match. #### Built for the WordPress editor * Choose a saved widget directly from the ScoreBat Football Widget block. * Create a draft page with your widget already inserted. * Copy a shortcode for placement in a Shortcode block or compatible editor. * Customize a saved widget on ScoreBat and reuse it across your pages. * Connect your existing ScoreBat account without copying an API token. * Use the plugin interface in English or with a language pack from WordPress.org when available. #### Free and paid ScoreBat plans A ScoreBat account is required. You can create a free account during connection. Free widgets may display advertising and ScoreBat branding. Paid plans are available through ScoreBat for additional service features and access, subject to plan limits. Subscriptions and payments are managed on ScoreBat. The plugin connects WordPress to the service; paid functionality is provided by ScoreBat, not locked plugin code. See [plans and pricing](https://www.scorebat.com/football-widgets/pricing/). #### External service and privacy This plugin depends on the external ScoreBat service at https://www.scorebat.com/. Connecting sends your website name and URL to ScoreBat. Browsing or editing a widget sends its configuration to the ScoreBat catalog or builder and returns the confirmed configuration to WordPress. With your approval, the plugin receives a site-specific connection credential, public embed token, account email, plan and usage summary. It does not receive your private Video API token or payment details. Account status is requested when you connect or refresh. Published widgets load content from scorebat.com and may load advertising and third-party video providers. These embedded services may process visitor data under their own policies. The plugin itself does not add analytics tracking. * [ScoreBat service](https://www.scorebat.com/) * [Terms of use](https://www.scorebat.com/terms/) * [Privacy policy](https://www.scorebat.com/privacy/) * [Widget documentation](https://www.scorebat.com/football-widgets/docs/) ### Source code The original ScoreBat dashboard JavaScript is included at `assets/admin.js`.
