Frequently asked questions
What is HideScore?
HideScore is a free way to follow sports without spoilers. It prints no NBA, MLB, NHL, NFL, soccer or golf score anywhere, and it keeps highlight titles and news headlines blurred until you choose to reveal them, so you can watch games on your own schedule.
How do HideScore's game ratings work?
Game ratings tell you how exciting a finished game was without naming the score or the winner. They are off until you turn them on in Settings, and on the default setting they stay off before noon Eastern. Once on, you can sort by the best games and decide what is worth watching before you press play.
How can I watch sports highlights without spoilers?
Open HideScore before checking search, YouTube, league apps, or social feeds. No score or winner is written on the board, the optional ratings help you pick the best finished games, and each game card links to recap or condensed highlights when available.
Which sports and leagues does HideScore cover?
HideScore covers the NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, NFL, college basketball and football, golf, tennis, motorsports, combat sports, cricket, chess, poker, and soccer. Soccer includes the Premier League, MLS, Champions League, Europa League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Liga MX, NWSL, EFL Championship, Copa Libertadores, Saudi Pro League, and major international tournaments.
Why don't I see a league on the main screen?
The main screen shows a few leagues at a time. Open Settings to choose your columns or use a column heading to switch leagues. Settings lists every supported league year-round in the In season and Offseason groups, and saved offseason picks return automatically when play resumes. The main switcher generally stays seasonal; NBA remains selectable during its offseason for news and trades. You can choose favorite teams from supported leagues year-round.
How do the separate soccer leagues work?
Each competition is its own league in HideScore, so La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, the Premier League, Champions League, and the others can each have their own score column, news, teams, and highlights. Pick the competitions you follow in Settings.
Is HideScore free?
Yes. HideScore is completely free, with no ads. It works without an account — your favorite teams and preferences are saved on your device — and it uses only privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics. You can optionally sign in with Apple or Google to sync your settings across devices.
Is there a HideScore app?
Yes. HideScore is a free app on the App Store and on Google Play, and it also works in any web browser at hidescore.com.
What is the best app to follow teams without spoilers?
For breadth, HideScore: it covers over 50 competitions on one board, hides standings as well as scores, and is free with no account. Pick your teams once and their games surface with the result covered. Other options are narrower — DTMTS covers the four big American leagues on the web, No Spoiler Sports adds soccer and college football, and joyavo is an iPhone app with a paid tier. There is an honest comparison of all of them at the best spoiler-free sports sites.
What is the best game recap app without spoilers?
HideScore, if the thing you want is to open a recap without reading the score on the way in. Recaps open from a covered game card instead of a search page, clips whose titles state the result are filtered out, and the titles of the ones that remain are masked. An excitement rating on each finished game tells you which recap is worth your time without naming the winner.
