How to Choose the Perfect Projection Screen for Watching Sports Outside

As summer gets into full swing, two major sporting events are set to capture the nation: the Wimbledon Championships and the UEFA Women's Euro 2025. With Wimbledon promising its usual blend of drama, elegance, and high-octane rallies, and the Lionesses’ return expected to be another electrifying chapter in women’s football, one thing is clear: immersive viewing makes all the difference.  

Whether you’re cheering on Centre Court legends with a glass of Pimm’s and some strawberries and cream or backing the Lionesses with friends at a local watch event, every great summer match moment hinges on one thing: choosing the perfect projection screen for watching sport.

At Nobo, we believe your viewing setup should match the calibre of the sport itself. Our premium range of projection options are designed for portability, convenience, and crisp picture quality, ensuring every serve, goal, and celebration is seen in perfect detail.

 

Garden Gatherings: Pimm’s, Sun Hats, and a Front-Row Experience

Picture this: the sun is shining, glasses are clinking, and the hush before the first serve at Wimbledon sets in. With the Nobo Tripod Projector Screen with Stand (1700x1275mm), you can turn your garden into your own personal Centre Court.

With a generous 4:3 viewing format, this screen brings the full drama of Centre Court to your back garden. Its sturdy yet lightweight tripod frame weighs just 9.6kg, making it highly portable. The screen rolls up smoothly into its housing and the tripod stand folds away for easy storage. Set-up takes just minutes – no tools required!

Its matte white surface diffuses light evenly, delivering crisp, glare-free visuals even in harsh sunlight. Pair with an overhead projector and a shade canopy for the perfect outdoor screening – you’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into the crowd on Murray Mound!

Top tip: Add deckchairs, bunting and a chilled jug of Pimm’s, and your Wimbledon watch party becomes a sun-soaked spectacle.

Community Watch Parties

There’s nothing quite like the buzz of a crowd united by the drama of live sport. From town halls to pub gardens and pop-up events in the park, communities everywhere are coming together to cheer on their heroes. And at the heart of every unforgettable viewing experience is a projection screen that brings the action to life.

For fixed locations like community centres and town halls, The Nobo Wall Mounted Manual Projector Screen (1700x1275mm) offers a fixed and professional solution. It provides a fuss-free setup with no floor space required. Built to withstand regular use, its sturdy aluminium casing make it an excellent investment for venues that want to host frequent sporting or cultural events.

For a more temporary solution look no further than the Nobo Floor Standing Portable Projector Screen (1190x900mm). Designed with mobility in mind, this screen is the ultimate companion for pubs, marquees, and pop-up events. It delivers maximum versatility with minimum hassle.

Weighing just 6.2kg, it folds neatly into a robust carry case with an integrated handle. Setup is effortless: simply lift and extend the scissor-action mechanism to the desired height using the telescopic pole. In under a minute, you're match-ready.

Despite its modest footprint, the screen surface still offers excellent brightness and colour fidelity, allowing fans to enjoy a high-quality display from almost any angle. It’s your reliable companion for smaller crowds or mobile use.

Office Camaraderie: A Break Room Worth Cheering In

Not everyone has the luxury of catching the big match from the comfort of home or the roar of a stadium. That’s why bringing live sport into the workplace isn’t just a nice perk—it’s a powerful way to lift morale, build camaraderie, and create moments of shared excitement across departments. Whether it's a lunchtime Wimbledon match or a key Euro fixture, transforming your office into a watch zone shows employees they don’t have to miss out.

With Nobo’s Portable Tripod Projector Screen, it’s easy to turn meeting rooms, break areas, or open-plan spaces into inviting viewing zones. The tripod screen’s portability makes it easy to roll between meeting rooms or breakout areas. Everyone can follow the action—whether they’re grabbing a coffee or tuning in for a team-building watch party. Sport has a unique way of breaking down silos and sparking connection, and with the right setup, your office can become a place where those moments happen.

Top tip: Hosting a watch party at work? Organise a mini tournament sweepstake or themed snacks to bring even more energy to the day.
