What It Does

football-data.org is a football REST API for fixtures, results, league tables, squads, and other machine-readable match information. It is a separate service from the CSV-download website Football-Data.co.uk.

Markets and Access

An ongoing free tier provides selected competitions with delayed scores and schedules. Paid plans add live scores, greater coverage, lineups, scorers, and cards. Separately priced add-ons document pre-match home/draw/away odds and statistics including corners.

Practical Notes

The free tier should not be treated as a live feed. Confirm the required competition, history, and add-on combination before subscribing. Request limits vary by plan, and downloadable CSV files or a built-in backtester are not established by the API offering.
