In Australia in 2026, digital scoreboards range from approximately $8,400 for a basic fixed-digit model through to $51,700+ for a large outdoor LED screen. The price depends primarily on size, technology type, and whether the unit is for indoor or outdoor use.
And a common question customers ask our AusSport team is: ‘How much does an electronic scoreboard cost?’. Even with all our years of expertise it is a challenging question to answer. There can be a big price range and with good reason. It depends on the scoreboard size, how far people need to see it from, the sport you are playing, and whether it is a basic ‘scores only’ scoreboard or a full LED display with many features.
Let’s drill down on some of the common scoreboard price influences:
- Size of the scoreboard
- Scoreboard features
- Indoor versus Outdoor location
- Technology (numeric or LED video scoreboard)
- Power source (mains or battery power)
- Type of controller and software
- Installation costs
- Optional extras (battery packs, trolleys, shot clocks)

Scoreboard Installation Costs
Installation costs vary, depending on the scoreboard location, mains power requirements, scoreboard size, labour costs and any additional materials. An option for volunteer sporting clubs on a budget is a DIY installation. Clubs who have limited funds and capable volunteers can install their own scoreboard.

Local, state, and federal government grants are offered in Australia that a wide range of not-for-profit sports clubs and schools can take advantage of.
