Coverage
What leagues or tournaments do you cover for soccer?
You can find all the leagues we cover, as well as a breakdown of data offered, via our Coverage Matrix.
When is coverage information added to the endpoints?
On the first day of the season.
How do I find out the coverage for a particular match?
Find the node for coverage
within the Summaries, Lineups, and Timeline endpoints.
Coverage nodes have three types: season
level, group
level, and sport_event
level.
- The
season
level describes data coverage you can expect for matches involved in that given season. - The
group
level is similar because there exists competitions where coverage levels differ at different stages or in different groups - mostly cup competitions. - The
sport_event
level describes the data depth of a specific match within the group and season.
Note: There are occasions when the sport_event
coverage can vary from the anticipated season
coverage. This node exists to highlight that instance and assist in handling any discrepancies.
<coverage type="sport_event">
<sport_event_properties lineups="true" venue="true" extended_player_stats="true" extended_team_stats="true" basic_play_by_play="true" basic_player_stats="true" basic_team_stats="true"/>
</coverage>
How is coverage for a particular match defined?
The coverage
nodes contain classifications of data types which are expressed as Boolean values or denoted as live
or post
.
<coverage type="sport_event">
<sport_event_properties lineups="false" venue="false" extended_player_stats="false" extended_team_stats="false"
ballspotting="false" commentary="false" fun_facts="false" goal_scorers="false" scores="post" game_clock="false"
deeper_play_by_play="false" deeper_player_stats="false" deeper_team_stats="false" basic_play_by_play="false"
basic_player_stats="false" basic_team_stats="false"/>
</coverage>
How do you define basic and deeper play-by-play in terms of coverage?
basic_play_by_play
includesscore_change
,cards
, andsubstitutions
.deeper_play_by_play
includes all other event types.
How will a sport event behave when it is not covered with live scores?
When a sport_event
is not covered live, the status
and match_status
will remain as not_started
until results are entered post-match.
<sport_event_status status="not_started" match_status="not_started"/>
How are “Live” endpoints handled in the API?
Sport Events appear in the feed 10 minutes before the scheduled start time and are removed 10 minutes after the Sport Event is ended. Live endpoints include: Live Summaries, Live Timelines, and Live Timelines Delta.
How are friendlies handled in the Summary endpoints?
The Summary endpoints return all Friendlies played in the last 2 weeks and scheduled for the next 4 weeks.
What level of coverage is offered for friendly competitions?
Friendly competitions are handled uniquely, with coverage being set on a case-by-case basis. Selected matches will be scouted and will therefore have live coverage. We would suggest checking sport_event_properties
within each sport_event
to understand the coverage set for a particular match.
Will qualification rounds match the coverage of group stage/knockout rounds?
No, in some instances qualification matches will be covered at a lower tier than subsequent rounds.
We suggest to use the Season Info endpoint, which has a coverage
property for each individual stage within a season. See below for sample data.

Why does the coverage of a cup competition not match the data?
For cup competitions, coverage levels may vary from the early rounds to latter stages. Coverage properties are set at a competition level and display the best coverage we offer for a sport event in this competition.
Why is goals_scored
the only statistic available in Season Leaders and Season Competitor Statistics for some competitions?

How does the possible_goal
event type work?
possible_goal
event type work?This event will occur immediately if one team scores a goal or if they are in a very clear scoring opportunity (1on1 with the goalkeeper, clear shot at an empty net, etc).
Pagination
Why can't I find a particular match in the Daily Summaries, Season Summaries or Sport Events Updated endpoints?
These endpoints support pagination and return a select number of results by default. To return more matches, an additional query string parameter must be used after your API key. Visit an endpoint page for minimum and maximum result values.
Probabilities
What is the Probabilities package?
The Probabilities package is an add-on set of feeds that are an extension of the Season Probabilities feed in the main package (which already provides pre-match probabilities for the sport event winner market).
The main features of the Probabilities extension are: Live Probabilities that update throughout game, Season Outright Probabilities for the Tournament Winner market, and Live Probabilities Coverage indicator for the next 24 hours.
Is there Live Probability coverage for every game you cover in the Soccer API?
Live Probability coverage depends on a number of factors and we can’t guarantee that every game will be covered for any given league. However, Sportradar covers tens of thousands of sport events across hundreds of leagues.
For individual competition coverage, contact [email protected]
What are markets and what are the different markets?
Markets is something you can bet on that we provide probabilities for. Over time we intend to provide more and more markets in the API. Currently the only market we provide is 3-way (will the home team win? Or the away team? Or will it be a draw?).
What are the valid outcomes for probabilities?
home_team_winner
away_team_winner
draw
Lineups / Rosters
When does the Lineups Availability update?
The lineups_availability
data is updated 30 days before the sport event is scheduled to begin.
When will lineups confirmed show as true?
Lineups information displays as it is entered. Once complete, we confirm lineups and the lineups_confirmed
attribute updates to true
. This only appears for matches with lineups_availability="pre"
.
What are the possible values for sport_event_properties
– lineups_availability
in the Summary and Timeline endpoints?
sport_event_properties
– lineups_availability
in the Summary and Timeline endpoints?pre

What are the valid lineup types (player position) values?

forward
What are the valid lineups descriptions (player tactical position) values?
goalkeeper
right back
central defender
left back
right winger
central midfielder
left winger
striker
How is the order value in the Lineups endpoint organized?
Order number 1 is always the goalie (star marking) and formations as well as numbering should start with the goalkeeper.
In the example diagram the formation 4-2-3-1 is used.
4 is the number of players in the line in front of the goalkeeper, then comes the line with 2 players and so on.
Numbering in every line starts at the right-hand side of the goalkeeper – this causes the numbering to be mirrored for the home and away team.
Do you have player transfer data available?
We use roles from player profiles to create a Season Transfers endpoint. This displays any player recently assigned to a team in a season covered with player_transfer_history="true"
.
Transfers can include youth players recently added to a matchday squad. If there is no previous club within 10 days, then this will be understood to be a free agent and therefore no from_competitor
will display.
For transfer_date
, we use multiple sources and cannot guarantee the accuracy.
What are the possible reasons for a player to appear in the Missing Players endpoint?
injured
ill

suspension
Ball Location
How does the ball location attribute work?
Our scouts mark down the x (lateral) and y (longitudinal) coordinates as observed on the pitch. The data can come in sporadically as events on the field play out, but new ball_location
data is potentially available every 1 sec. This is only available for matches with ballspotting="true"
.
The element ball_locations
stores the last four known ball locations, after which the data is not available unless it corresponds with another event in the timeline such as throw_in
or shot_on_goal
. The ball_location
order illustrates the most recent location as 4 and the oldest location as 1.
What is the scale of the X Y coordinates?
The pitch we use is 100 by 100. Here is a layout of the pitch:
X = Horizontal position on the pitch. X is a number between 0 and 100. The reference point 0 is at the home team’s goal.
Y = Vertical position on the pitch. Y is a number between 0 and 100. The reference point 0 is on the top of the pitch where the home team’s goal is on the left hand side.
What are the possible values for match situation status (match_situation.status
)?
match_situation.status
)?Listed below are the values and definitions for match_situation
- status
. These can be leveraged to determine the status of a ball in play.
safe
- Team in possession of the ball is inside their defensive halfdangerous
- Team in possession is in the opponent’s half but not near the penalty boxattack
- Team in possession is in the opponent’s half, near the penalty box
Past Season Data
Why does the coverage of past seasons not match the data?
Coverage properties are set at a competition level and only reflect the current or last season of that competition. Previous seasons may have greater or lesser coverage.
How long is full match data available in the API?
Match data is archived after one year and you will only be able to service basic score information from the API.
A historical statistics API for Soccer is on the roadmap, but no ETA is available at this time.
How are seasonal competitor statistics handled?
Statistics from any qualification rounds will not be displayed. The feed will only display data from the main competition.

Are Live Standings available?
Live standings are delivered by default in the Season Standings endpoint. Live standings use an automatic set of tiebreaker rules that are calculated based on the scores while matches are in progress.
We recommend adding the parameter live=false
to a Season Standings request to retrieve standings when matches are not in progress. This will consider any additional tie-break criteria that a competition may use if competitors are level.

Data Point Definitions
How do you define the key data points?
Data Points | Type of Data Point | Definition |
---|---|---|
Goal | regular | A goal is assigned to a player of the attacking team if his shot taken by foot, head or any other part of the body leads to a score. All attempts are counted. Uncontrolled deflections resulting in a goal will be attributed to the player who kicked the ball, not the player who deflects the ball. |
own goal | When a defender kicks or heads the ball into the defender’s goal with the intent of making a pass to a teammate or of clearing the ball and it is obvious that no other player of the attacking team tried a shot on target, a goal is recorded as an "own goal". An "own goal" counts towards the offensive team's season statistics. No assist shall be given to the attacking team. If an attacking player shots on goal and the defender deflects the ball into the net, in a controlled action it will be deemed an own goal. If two players of the defending team touched the ball, the player who last touched it is the own goal scorer. | |
Assist | in general | An assist considered to be a contribution by a player which directly helps a teammate to score a goal. In order to be considered for an assist a player needs to have given the last successful pass. However, the last successful pass does not necessarily automatically constitute an assist. |
counted |
| |
not counted |
| |
Throw-In | If the ball crosses any of the side lines by its diameter, the game will continue with a throw-in. | |
Free kicks | team statistics | In accordance with the rules, a free kick stat counted for the team who executes a free kick. Direct or indirect free kicks are all counted as free kicks. |
Goal kick | team statistics | Total number of kicks awarded to the team as a result of the ball traveling out of bounds over the goal line of the defending team |
Throw ins | team statistics | Total number of thrown in events for a team |
Offsides | team statistics | Total number of offside infringements awarded against a team. |
Fouls | team statistics | Total number of fouls awarded against a team (including those which draw cards) |
Corner Kicks | team statistics | Total number of corner kicks taken by a team. |
Shots Saved | team statistics | Total number of goal keeper saves attributed to a team. |
Ball Possession | team statistics | Ball possession is the amount of time a team has possession of the ball. It is calculated in percentage, and the total amount of time the match is being played is considered 100%. |
