FOX debuted a new scorebug ahead of the 2025 NFL regular season on Sunday evening.

The network is airing a preseason game between the Chicago Bears and the Buffalo Bills on Sunday evening. FOX is using Sunday night's preseason game as a bit of a tuneup for the 2025 regular season. The network has decided to debut its new, sleek scorebug during the Week 2 preseason game. NFL fans, unsurprisingly, have a lot of thoughts on the scorebug.

NFL fans have quickly taken to social media to weigh in on the new scorebug from Fox Sports, which debuted on Sunday evening.

FOX first unveiled its new scorebug during Super Bowl 59 between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles back in February. At the time, fans took issue with the scorebug, as no one likes big change.

The new scorebug has been tweaked a bit heading into the regular season, with the network unveiling the new version on Sunday night.

"Fox officially tweaks the NFL scorebug they debuted at the Super Bowl, most notably replacing the team abbreviations with team logos," Sports TV News & Updates shared on X.

NFL fans have a unanimous opinion on the scorebug

It's safe to say that NFL fans hate the new scorebug with a passion.

"My conclusion here is that the idea of going minimalist is an interesting one that I think could look really cool if you do it right. I just don't think they did it right. The fonts are too thick and bold and the down/distance with the play clock hovering over the logo and score, I just don't agree with how they did this. When they first went minimalist back in 2017 I wasn't a big fan but I learned to appreciate the look over the years. Hopefully this is another acquired taste," one fan wrote.

"Not to be that guy but Fox’s newscorebug might be the worst in sports history," one fan added.

"The FOX scorebug tweak is a major improvement from the Super Bowl! Still don’t love it, but it is much better," one fan added.

"This is quite literally the worst scorebug ever why did they run it back," one fan added.

FOX made minor adjustments from the Super Bowl 59 scorebug

While the scorebug is new, it's not that different from what it looked like during Super Bowl 59.

A side-by-side comparison of the scorebug shows that a couple of things have been eliminated from the Super Bowl 59 scorebug - mainly the background of the team logos.

NFL fans will have some time to adjust to this one, as the 2025 regular season is still about three weeks away.

Clearly, though, a lot of fans are bothered by it.
