Fox's Tweaked NFL Scorebug Debuts in Preseason to Mostly Negative Reviews

The update replaces initials with logos, moves timeout markers, adds a small live-stat panel, with Fox yet to outline any next steps.

The updated FOX NFL scorebug features team logos and player stats but has sparked controversy among fans, with opinions ranging from praise to disdain for its design and placement.

Overview

  • The revised on-screen graphic appeared during Sunday night's BearsBills preseason telecast on Fox from Soldier Field.
  • Notable changes included team logos in place of abbreviations, timeout dots positioned under the scores, and the removal of colored logo backplates.
  • A compact box-score element showing live player statistics periodically occupied the bottom-right corner of the screen.
  • Social media reaction skewed negative, with many calling it underdesigned and a few viewers labeling it a modest improvement over the Super Bowl version.
  • Fox has not announced whether further revisions are coming before the regular season.
