A padel scoring calculator tracks match scores using the same system as tennis: Love, 15, 30, 40 for points, games to 6, tiebreaks at 6-6, and best of 3 sets. This tool handles all scoring rules automatically including deuce, advantage, tiebreak point counting, and serve rotation so you can focus on playing.

Quick Scoring Rules
Points
Points progress as Love (0), 15, 30, 40, then Game. At 40-40 it is Deuce. From Deuce, a team must win the next point for Advantage, then win again for the Game. If the team with Advantage loses the next point, it returns to Deuce.
Games & Sets
A set is won by the first team to 6 games with at least a 2-game lead. If the set reaches 6-6, a tiebreak is played. A match is best of 3 sets: the first team to win 2 sets wins the match.
Tiebreak
In a tiebreak, points count as numbers (1, 2, 3...). First to 7 points wins, but must lead by 2. The serve changes after the first point, then every 2 points. Teams switch ends every 6 points.
Serve Rotation
The serve alternates between teams each game. During regular games, the same player serves the entire game. In padel doubles, team members take turns serving when it is their team's turn.
How to Use the Padel Scoring Calculator
Padel uses the same scoring system as tennis, which can be tricky to track during fast-paced matches. This padel scoring calculator automates all the rules so you can use it as a courtside scoreboard on your phone or tablet. It tracks points, games, sets, tiebreaks, and serve rotation in real time.
Step 1: Set Up Your Match
Enter team names by tapping the name fields. The match is configured as best of 3 sets with tiebreaks at 6-6, which is the standard padel format. The scorer starts with Team A serving and all scores at zero.
Step 2: Record Points
After each point, tap the button for the team that won it. The padel score tracker automatically advances through Love, 15, 30, 40, and Game. When both teams reach 40 (Deuce), the tool tracks Advantage and returns to Deuce if the advantage is lost. When a game is won, the games count updates and the serve changes to the other team.
Step 3: Track Sets and Tiebreaks
When a team reaches 6 games with a 2-game lead, the set is won and a new set begins. If the games reach 6-6, a tiebreak is triggered automatically. During the tiebreak, points are counted numerically (1, 2, 3...) and the first team to 7 points with a 2-point lead wins. The scorer handles all tiebreak serving rules automatically.
Step 4: Use Undo and Match History
If you make a mistake, the Undo button reverses the last point. The match history section logs every significant event: games won, sets won, tiebreak results, and the final match result. This gives you a complete record of the match progression.
Understanding the Scoreboard
The scoreboard displays the current points for each team, along with games won in each set. Completed sets are shown as final game scores. The serving indicator (green dot) shows which team is currently serving. During a tiebreak, the points column switches to numeric scoring and a tiebreak indicator appears. The match ends when one team wins 2 out of 3 sets.
