FAQ

How do I embed live sports scores on my website?

Visit sportbusy.com/widget/live-scores/, choose list or marquee ticker, optional league filter, size/theme, and copy the iframe. Loads from sportbusy.com/embed/live.

Is the live scores widget free?

Yes. Ideal for headers, footers, and sports homepages. Keep the SportBusy footer visible.

How fast do live scores update in the widget?

About every 30 seconds while games are in progress. No refresh button needed on your site.

What is the marquee ticker display style?

A single-row scrolling ribbon of live games — best for the top or bottom of a page. The builder switches to ticker-optimized height presets (80–160px tall, full width).

What is the vertical list display style?

A card-style list of in-progress games with score and period/clock — better for sidebars and article bodies.

Can I show only NBA live games?

Select NBA in the optional league dropdown. Other leagues are hidden until those games go live.

What shows when no games are live?

The widget displays an empty or “no live games” state — it will populate automatically when games start.

How do I customize colors for a live score ribbon?

Pick theme and accent colors in the builder. Ticker mode works well with dark theme and high-contrast accent.

Will the live ticker slow my homepage?

The iframe is async and lightweight. Ticker animation runs inside the iframe boundary.

Can I use the live widget in a mobile app WebView?

Yes — especially the list variant at ~400px height. Ticker works for full-width app headers.

How is this different from the sports calendar widget?

Calendar shows the full day’s schedule. Live Now shows only games happening right now.

What iframe size for a header ticker?

Use Standard ribbon (100%×120) or Tall ribbon (100%×160) presets when ticker variant is selected.

Can I embed on WordPress above the fold?

Yes. Paste ticker iframe in a full-width HTML block at the top of the homepage template.

Does it include World Cup live games during the tournament?

Yes when World Cup matches are live — leave league filter on All leagues or use soccer/league filters as supported.
