Rosters and Players

Accessing Available Seasons (Prerequisite)

To avoid confusion and ensure you're accessing available data, refer to our Seasons feed. This resource lists all the seasons for which we have data.

For example: To ensure data availability for future seasons, such as a schedule in advance of when a season begins, first check the Seasons feed to verify that data for that specific season is already provided.

Starting with this feed can prevent unnecessary errors and streamline your data retrieval process.

Introduction to Rosters

An NFL roster is the list of players associated with a team. You can access this data through three roster-specific endpoints:

Full Roster – The Team Roster endpoint provides the complete roster, including active players, inactive players, and practice squad members.
Active Roster – The Team Profile endpoint lists only the active players on a team.
Game Roster – The Game Roster endpoint shows the declared game roster, identifying which players from the full roster will be active for a specific game.

🏈
What is a practice squad?
The practice squad is a group of players who practice with the team but are not eligible to play in official games unless promoted to the active roster. This allows teams to develop players and have them readily available should they need replacements due to injury or other reasons during the season.

When Roster Data Is Updated

Seasonal Rosters and Depth Charts – Updated throughout the season by Sportradar.
Player Transactions – Monitored for all teams and players, updated as movement occurs.
Injuries – Rosters and injury reports are monitored daily for updates.
Draft Updates – Sportradar first introduced NFL Draft coverage ahead of the 2019 draft. See our NFL Draft Day integration scenario for more details.

For more on when roster, injury, and player participation data is added, see the NFL Data Entry Workflow.

🔄
Use the Update Frequencies Page
For recommended pull intervals and timing for each roster-related endpoint, see the Update Frequencies page to ensure you’re calling feeds at the optimal rate.

When you query the Team Roster endpoint, you’ll get detailed team-level information—like name, market, venue, ownership, and coaching staff—along with a complete list of players. Each player object includes identifiers, position, jersey number, physical attributes, birth details, college, rookie year, current status, experience, and salary. You can use these fields to display rosters, build player profiles, or integrate team and player data into your application.

When you query the Team Profile endpoint, you’ll receive team-level details such as name, market, venue, ownership, division, conference, coaching staff, and official team colors. The response also includes the active roster, listing only players currently active for the team, with each player’s identifiers, position, jersey number, physical attributes, birth details, college, rookie year, status, experience, and salary. Use this endpoint when you need current active player data along with rich team context.

💰
Leverage Team Franchise and Salary Data
You can also use the Team Roster and Team Profile endpoints to access detailed franchise data for NFL teams. This information includes the team's founding year, current owner, nicknames, records of championships and division titles won and more.
These feeds also include information on player salaries to help you analyze team payrolls, compare player earnings, and integrate financial insights into your app or platform. This can be valuable for sports analytics and salary cap management tools.

🎓
Link NFL and NCAAFB Player IDs
The reference array shows a player’s corresponding ID in another league’s API, such as mapping an NFL player to their NCAA record, so you can connect data across leagues.
Use the scope value to see which league a player ID came from.

The following is an example of how you can display a team roster on your platform, showcasing key details such as player names, jersey numbers, positions, age, height, weight, college, and birthplace.

📸
Accessing Headshots and Team Logos
To access team logos and player headshots, use the Images API.

When you query the Game Roster endpoint, you’ll get game-specific roster data for both teams, including only the players eligible for that matchup. The response includes game metadata (status, schedule, venue, attendance, weather, broadcast network) and team details (name, market, coaches). Each player object contains identifiers, position, jersey number, physical attributes, birth details, college, rookie year, draft information, and real-time fields like status and in_game_status so you can track availability (started, dnp, deactivated, etc.) and participation during the game. Use this feed to build live roster views, injury updates, or player tracking features tied to a specific event.

🏈
Player Participation and In-Game Player Status

The status refers to the overall game status of a player, indicating whether they were deactivated, did not play (dnp), played, or started in the game.

The in_game_status indicates the real-time condition of a player during the game, such as whether they are active, probable, questionable, doubtful, out, benched, or unknown.

👍
Leveraging In-Game Player Statuses
You can use the Game Roster feed to track in-game player status updates with the in_game_status datapoint. This status updates in real-time to show whether players are active, probable, questionable, doubtful, benched, out, or unknown during the game.
For more on tracking live game and play-by-play data, see the **Live Game Updates **integration scenario.

Player Profile Data

Use the Player Profile endpoint to go beyond roster data, accessing detailed player information including biographical data, salary, draft history, and seasonal statistics.

When you query the Player Profile endpoint, you’ll get a complete record for a specific player, including biographical details (name, birth date, height, weight, hometown, high school, and college), position, rookie year, current status, experience, and salary. The response includes the player’s current team, draft information, and linked league references (e.g., NCAA profile IDs). You’ll also receive season-by-season statistics, broken down by category such as passing, rushing, and conversions, along with game counts and situational metrics. Use this endpoint when you need a player’s full background, contract details, and statistical history in one place.

The following is an example of how you can display player profile data on your platform, showcasing key details such as seasonal stat summaries, positions, and biographical details such as age, college, and birthplace.

When you query the Weekly Injuries feed, you’ll get injury reports for all teams in a given week of the season. The response includes season and week details, then lists each team with its affected players. For each player, you’ll see identifiers, position, jersey number, and an array of injury records. Each injury entry contains the player’s game status (Out, Questionable, etc.), the date the status was recorded, practice participation level, and the primary injury type. Use this feed to track injury trends, update fantasy or betting applications, or display up-to-date player availability for the week.

The following image is an example of how you can visualize injury data on your platform.

Depth Charts

NFL depth charts illustrate players on a team in order of their position and playing status. They show the starters and the backup players for each position, indicating who would step in during a game if a starter were unavailable due to injury or other reasons.

You can access depth chart data using the Weekly Depth Charts feed. This endpoint provides depth chart information for each team for a given week.

When you query the Weekly Depth Charts feed, you’ll get the projected player lineup for each team in a given week of the season. The response includes season and week details, then lists each team with their offensive, defensive, and special teams units. For each position group (e.g., TE, WR, OL), you’ll receive an ordered list of players showing depth rank, along with identifiers, jersey numbers, and positions. Use this feed to display depth chart visualizations, track lineup changes week-to-week, or integrate projected starter and backup data into your fantasy, betting, or analytics applications.

The following example shows how you can visualize the Minnesota Vikings' offensive depth chart for week 8 of the 2023 season, detailing starters and their backups for each position.

Transactions

NFL transactions refer to the movements of players between teams through trades, free agency signings, releases, or waivers. A transaction becomes official when it is processed by the league office and reported in the NFL's daily transaction list.

You can access daily transaction updates using the Daily Transactions feed, which provides details of all transactions added or edited throughout each league-defined day.

When you query the Daily Transactions feed, you’ll receive all player transaction activity within a specified 24-hour period. The response includes each player’s identifiers, name, and position, along with one or more transaction records detailing the action taken (Signed, Waived, Placed on Injured Reserve, etc.), a description, effective date, and before/after status. Team information is included for both the origin and destination, where applicable. Use this feed to update rosters, track player movement across the league, or trigger notifications in fantasy, betting, or news applications.

🏈
Waiving Players
In the NFL, the term "waive" refers to a process where players with less than four years of service time are put on the waiver wire, making them available for other teams to claim under the same contract conditions. If unclaimed, these players become unrestricted free agents. This system allows teams to potentially pick up young talent that has been let go by other teams.

Track Effective Dates
To ensure accuracy in tracking player movements, always check the effective_date in transaction data as it specifies when changes officially take place.

Free Agents

Free agents are players who are not currently under contract with any team, allowing them to sign with any team of their choosing. The Free Agents endpoint provides detailed player information for all current free agents in the league.

Daily Change Log

The Daily Change Log endpoint provides an efficient way to monitor daily updates within the NFL API, including roster adjustments, transactions, and corrections to player injury details, without exhausting your API call quota.

The table below outlines scenarios and use cases for utilizing the Daily Change Log based on team roster and player updates.

Data	Use Case
Team Rosters	Use this data to keep track of adjustments like player trades, contract signings, or releases.
Game Rosters	Useful for verifying rosters after a game or adjustments to player participation.
Transactions	Observe adjustments or corrections to transaction data.
Injuries	Observe adjustments or corrections to player injury data.
Depth Charts	Verify or track adjustments to team depth charts.

Steps:

Identify Change Types: First, review the Daily Change Log to identify the types of changes reported. These could be related to games, players, or teams. Each entry in the log will list relevant IDs (game, player, or team ID), depending on the type of change.
Use IDs to Retrieve Specifics:
- Game Roster Changes: If the ID is found within theresults node, this can indicate a post-game correction to the game roster. This ID is a game ID.
- Player and Team Changes: Similarly, IDs associated with players or teams indicate changes relevant to these entities, such as updates to team rosters.
Pull Detailed Data: Use the identified IDs to pull detailed information from the relevant feed. For example:
- Team Rosters Feed: If a team ID is mentioned, you can pull this feed to check for any updates to team rosters.
- Game Roster Feed: Use the game ID to retrieve updated game rosters and to see what specific data was altered.
Verify Changes: After pulling the detailed data from the relevant feeds, compare the newly retrieved data against previously stored data to verify the changes and update your records accordingly.
