.livescore
Is .livescore a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.livescore is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Livescore Limited.
A company-name TLD for a sports-scores brand; useful only to that brand, with no open market or resale value for anyone else.
the applicant brand itself, for its own sports-scores and related product addresses; no third-party buyer group exists
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Same bet exactly: a real-time-data service whose brand IS its plain-English description, applied for by the single operator who owns that phrase — so the string has to work as both a generic utility label and one company's primary identity.
A sports-media operator putting its primary identity on a string that reads as a generic sports term, betting that audience habit (not category exclusivity) is what makes the word theirs.
A two-word commodity-sounding lookup phrase claimed as a brand: the bet is that a descriptive utility name people already type by reflex can be owned by the incumbent service, with the same category-vs-trademark tension.
What a .livescore domain is
.livescore is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Brand. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .livescore domain extension real yet?
.livescore is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. It is a string applicants have put forward in the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, the process that decides whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .livescore domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .livescore name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .livescore was .weatherchannel, delegated on 28 January 2016.
Is .livescore a real TLD?
Not yet. .livescore is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .livescore is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.
- Livescore Limited · first recordedICANN
- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow), at its floor. The record shows a single application by Livescore Limited of ICANN application type 'brand', so the string functions as a company name rather than a generic word a market would adopt. By analogy with earlier-round brand TLDs (flagged as analogy), such namespaces are operated for the brand's own properties, carry no open registrations, and generate no aftermarket; where the brand actively uses the TLD for its products it can serve as a genuine primary identity, which is the only reason this is not in the 1-9 band. It is not in 30-49 because there are no volume or price-driven registrations and no third-party brand signal; a non-affiliated party would have no plausible use for an address under a trademarked company name. Main market uncertainty: whether the brand migrates its public-facing products onto the TLD or merely holds it defensively, which determines whether any end-use value materialises within 5 years.
