How can we help you?
We have built a well-structured, flexible, and fast JSON API. Our API makes it easy to customize your JSON responses.
Our API’s flexibility demonstrates itself by allowing its users to build their own responses in the form of adding include parameters to their requests. This means you can request the data you need and leave out the data you don’t need.
Filtering and Sorting is another widely used and loved characteristic of our API. It means you can request the data the way you want it to, by adding the proper filtering and sorting commands. Please check our documentation pages for more information.
At Sportmonks, we manage all our data in the Sportmonks Scout Application Platform (SSAP). Our dedicated scout teams from all over the world add, manage and validate the data collected by this platform. We work together with high-class data partners to ensure our football data is reliable and always up to date.
Once subscribed to one of our plans you will automatically receive the 14-day free trial. After 14 days, your credit card will be charged, unless you choose to cancel your subscription in time. You’re only permitted to have one free trial.
Sportmonks is a sports data provider, founded in 2016, primarily doing business in football, cricket and formula 1. We work with APIs to provide you the best possible data for an affordable price.
There are two options for requesting a custom plan.
You have two options:
Yes, we offer a full-featured 14-day trial so you can test everything (every league, every feature) before deciding.
Absolutely! If you have a personalized plan and wish to leverage the xG feature, simply reach out to our support team. We’ll swiftly arrange the setup of a tailored xG add-on for you.
Feel free to email us directly at [email protected] or get in touch with support via our contact page. We’re here to assist you every step of the way!
xG statistics generate numeric values that show the chance of scoring based on the quality of chances created or conceded. These values for one specific player usually range between 0 and 1.5 for a specific fixture. For example, Erling Haaland had an xG value of 1.1634 in the Manchester Derby (18842545). In that fixture, he scored 1 goal in total. Pretty accurate, right?
For that same fixture, the xG for both teams was as follows:
Manchester City: 3.6439 – Manchester United: 0.3841.
As you can see, the xG values are pretty accurate to the actual outcome, which was 3-1. However, Marcus Rashford’s wonder strike shows that xG doesn’t always tell the full story. He had an xG of 0.3553 for that match but did manage to score 1 goal.
Remember: This will not always be the case. You may expect Erlin Haaland to finish a 0,89 chance or to score at least once or twice if he has a total of 3,10 xG. However, that doesn’t mean the xG metrics are wrong if he doesn’t. xG metrics are just parameters to calculate the quality of a chance or multiple chances. Even if a chance has a 99% chance of resulting in a goal, there is a 1% chance it will not.
The availability of xG values is influenced by the speed of data processing. Since xG calculations require match statistics like shots, there may be a delay before xG values become available. Patience is key as relevant match data is processed to generate accurate xG insights.
The reliability of xG values is contingent on various factors, including the context of the match. A nuanced understanding of the game’s flow, tempo, and dynamics enhances the interpretation of xG values, providing valuable insights into the scoring probabilities.
xG values are continuously calculated and processed throughout the match, with updates occurring every couple of minutes. The maximum time between these updates should not exceed 5 minutes. Stay informed with real-time insights into evolving goal-scoring probabilities.
You can simply get access by going to MySportmonks and adding the Expected Goal add-on to your subscription. Not yet registered to MySportmonks? Create your account and start with Expected Goals by creating your New Subscription.
xG values are calculated using historical shot data. The calculations are made based on the shot’s location, angle, and distance. Next, the type of shot (for example, header or foot) is considered. The position of the goalkeeper and players is also used in the calculations. This data and additional information are used to create the different xG metrics, providing a comprehensive understanding of goal-scoring probabilities.
Expected goals is usually expressed as a value between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates a very low probability of scoring and 1 indicates a very high probability. For example, a clear one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper might have a high xG value close to 1, while a long-range speculative shot might have a low xG value closer to 0. An xG value above 0.38 for a specific shot is considered a big chance. For example, a penalty has an average xG of 0.79 to be scored.
Keep in mind that the quality of a player is not accounted for. So, for expected goals, it does not matter if Lionel Messi is the one taking a shot or if the data scientist of Sportmonks takes the shot.
At Sportmonks, we use three types of packages: a basic package, a Standard package, and an Advanced package.
In the Basic package, xG per fixture will be available 12 hours post-match.
In the Standard package, xG per fixture and xG on Target per Fixture will be available straight after a match.
The xG advanced package will have all our xG metrics, including xG per Fixture, xG On Target, Non-Penalty xG, xG Open Play, xG Set Play, xG Corners, xG Free kick, xG Penalty, Expected Points, Expected Points Table, Expected Goals Conceded, Expected Goal difference, Over/Underperformance players, Over/Underperformance team, Expected Goals Saved. The Advanced package has all metrics live.
We have a list available in our documentation. Please keep in mind this list is not yet complete, as not all leagues that will have xG available is active.
Once leagues like the European Championship have played xG will also be available here.
Of course, we offer xG Open Play and xG Set Play. But if you want to dive deeper into xG Set Play, the metrics xG Corner, xG Free Kick, and xG Penalty will come in handy.
These statistics have particular use cases. For example, in the 2023/2024 season, Arsenal scored many goals from set pieces. For some people, it might be very interesting to see if the XG Arsenal generates is higher than the XG for other title contenders (like Manchester City and Liverpool). At the moment of writing, they are only 1 point apart and are numbers one to three in the league standings. As you can imagine, the over- and underperformance of these teams from set pieces might have a small or big influence on the rest of the season.
It might be interesting to show which of the set pieces generates the most xG for certain teams and to find out if there are any differences. For one team, free kicks might be way more dangerous (maybe because they have a free-kick specialist), while others have a way higher xG from corners (maybe because they have two giants as centre-backs who join the attack when they have a corner).
As you can see, these use cases can be really interesting to get a better understanding of the tactics of specific teams and to find out if a late free kick or corner is actually as interesting as it seems when the whole stadium is cheering to support their team with this late chance to score.

Our advanced machine learning model accurately predicts football match outcomes by analysing historical data, including team form, player injuries, and head-to-head records. Additionally, our player contribution model enhances prediction accuracy by analszing individual player performance, recent form, position, and impact on the team. With our predictions API, you can access various markets such as match-winner, double chance, and total goals.
Our prediction API has two key models:
1. Prediction model:
Using advanced machine learning techniques and historical data, our model accurately predicts the outcomes of future football matches, considering various factors such as team form, player injuries, head-to-head records, and more. In addition to that, we also incorporate the player contribution model, which further enhances the accuracy of the predictions. By analysing the performance of individual players and their impact on the team, we can better understand how they’ll contribute to the match’s final outcome. This model takes into account various metrics such as the player’s recent form, their position, and their contribution to the team’s overall performance
2. Value bet model:
The Value Bet model processes thousands of historical odds data and market trends to find the best value opportunities. In other words: it compares bookmakers’ odds with each other and then gives you the best value bookmaker. Using our value bet model, you can access valuable insights into the best bets, which can help you make better decisions.
The models and algorithms are based on five key principles:
1. Timely and substantive:
The prediction API is updated daily with the latest data from the Sportmonks Football Database.
2. Data controlled:
No human intervention is needed. The prediction API runs on statistical analysis results based on the entire historical Sportmonks Football Database.
3. Precise probabilities:
The prediction API offers the most precise probabilities possible, thanks to our mathematical probability distribution models.
4. Predictability performance:
We monitor our prediction API’s success rate and quality, but you can also track our predictions’ performance.
5. Machine Learning:
We use cross-validation machine learning models.
Football prediction sites have become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more people turn to online resources for insights into their favourite football teams and matches. Using advanced machine learning techniques and historical data, our Prediction API accurately predicts the outcomes of future football matches, considering various factors such as team form, player injuries, head-to-head records, and more. We also incorporate the player contribution model, which further enhances the accuracy of the predictions.
With our Predictions API, you’ll have access to a vast range of markets, including match-winner, double chance, total goals, and beyond. We’re constantly improving our model, adding new features to ensure you have access to the most accurate and up-to-date predictions possible. The Prediction API is a valuable asset to any football prediction website, providing accurate predictions for future matches based on advanced machine-learning techniques and historical data.
Our Predictions API offers predictions on various markets like the winner, correct scores, over/under and both teams to score (BTTS) are all available here, produced with our machine learning techniques and models.

A football news API allows developers and enthusiasts to access and retrieve up-to-date football news articles and headlines via our Football API. This API grants users the ability to integrate real-time football news content into their applications, websites, or platforms seamlessly.
When making an API request you will receive the data in JSON format. There are two ways to request the news in our API.
Our News API is combined with our Football API. So make sure you are subscribed to a Football plan.
The match previews are written by Sportmonks’ data experts and scouts. Our post-match articles are AI written in collaboration with United Robots, a renowned AI news provider. The articles are based on match results, statistics, goals, injuries, and other important events. With our reliable and up-to-date football data, you can provide your users with instant updates after the final whistle.
The Football News API offers comprehensive coverage across various leagues, providing users with a wide range of football-related content. The Top News Plan and Full News Plan are priced per single league, offering in-depth coverage tailored to specific leagues such as the UEFA Champions League, English Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, and Ligue 1.
The All-In News Plan encompasses all six leagues for users seeking broader coverage. This plan includes detailed updates on matches from the UEFA Champions League and English Premier League and coverage of the top five teams from the previous season in the Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga, and Ligue 1. With this plan, users gain access to comprehensive news and insights spanning across multiple leagues, ensuring they stay informed about the latest developments in football across Europe.
Our Football post-match News API meticulously covers post-match analysis for Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Eredivisie, and Champions League matches. On top of that, we also offer post-match football news for the EUROs. The articles are based on match results, statistics, goals, injuries, and other important events. With our reliable and up-to-date football data, you can provide your users with instant updates after the final whistle.
When two teams in the top 5 are playing against each other we will add another matchup. For example, the numbers 1 and 2 are playing each other.
We will add the matchup of the team that is number six at the start of that round.
This will only happen in the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1. The News API will have 20 articles available per month if that month includes 4 rounds of the competition.
Our pre-match odds are updated around every 1 minute. Meaning (worst-case scenario) it can take up to 2 minutes before a change on the bookmakers’ site is available in our API feed.
To access the comprehensive list of markets included in our Premium Odds Feed, kindly navigate to the following link:
This link will provide detailed information regarding the markets available, including their market ID, ensuring transparency and accessibility to our valued users.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you require further assistance or have any additional inquiries.
We are happy to provide you with more information about our winning odds.
Winning odds are calculated automatically during or after a match. Winning odds determine whether an odd has ‘won’ or not. For example, if the market for an odd was over 2.5 goals and there were 3 goals in that match, the odd will be set to “winning”: “true”. If there were less than 3 goals in that match, the odd will be set to “winning”: “false”.
Please note that not all markets we cover have winning odds calculations. Every market has a flag marking whether you can expect winning odds for it. You can check the markets here:
Our API provides a history of odds for fixtures for up to 7 days after kick-off (starting_at). Additionally, we offer the history of changes of each odd. We document the opening odds for each fixture; subsequently, all changes and updates are stored and accessible for your use.
We would happily explain the difference between our Standard and Premium Odds feeds.
First, our Premium Odds feed is developed in partnership with TXOdds, a highly reputable odds provider known for its exceptional data reliability. The Premium Odds feed offers an extensive selection of 42 markets from 145+ different bookmakers, which you can review here.
Additionally, we meticulously document the opening odds for each fixture, and all subsequent changes and updates are recorded and made accessible for your use. This functionality enables you to track the evolution of each odd and effectively present these changes to your customers.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you require further assistance or have any additional inquiries.
The best way to achieve this is to request the “odds/pre-match/latest” endpoint every 5 seconds. This way, you only get the odds as close as real-time. The endpoint itself returns odds that were updated within 10 seconds. So, if you request the endpoint every 10 seconds, you may miss some values because making a request also takes some time (can take around ±1 second). Within that second, you are prone to missing updates.
Our pre-match odds are updated around every 10 minutes. Meaning (worst-case scenario) it can take up to 20 minutes before a change on the bookmakers’ site is available in our API feed. Our inplayOdds refresh every second, so that should be pretty much instant.
