Final Score is also broadcast on Saturday afternoons on the BBC Red Button and online for two hours before the BBC One broadcast begins. This programme features a live studio discussing the day's play as it is being played while also showing audio coverage clips of a large number of matches that are being played.
After the domestic broadcast concludes, an additional half-hour is broadcast live on BBC World News, the BBC's internationally-broadcast news channel.
The round-up covers games from the Premier League to the Conference National, in Scotland from the Scottish Premier League (SPL) to the Scottish Division Three, and more frequently in recent times, the Welsh Premier League and the Irish League.
The programme includes interviews with managers, players and studio pundits. It concludes with the day's scores being read by Mike West. Tim Gudgin used to read the scores until his retirement in 2011. There is also a review of the league tables for most divisions.

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or score:
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
“Gargantua, at the age of four hundred four score and forty- four years begat his son Pantagruel, from his wife, named Badebec, daughter of the King of the Amaurotes in Utopia, who died in child-birth: because he was marvelously huge and so heavy that he could not come to light without suffocating his mother.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
