Sports & Coverage

Each sport supported by TheRundown API is identified by a numeric sport_id. Use these IDs when calling endpoints that require a sport parameter (e.g., /sports/{sport_id}/events).

Season-Specific Sports

Preseason, playoff, and special-event games have their own sport IDs, separate from their parent league’s regular season. This allows you to filter or subscribe to specific parts of a season independently.

Sport	ID	Parent
NBA Preseason	23	NBA (4)
NBA Playoffs	24	NBA (4)
NFL Preseason	25	NFL (2)
NFL Playoffs	26	NFL (2)
NHL Preseason	27	NHL (6)
NHL Playoffs	28	NHL (6)
MLB Spring Training	30	MLB (3)
MLB Playoffs	31	MLB (3)
NBA Summer League	32	NBA (4)

MLB Spring Training migration (February 2026): MLB Spring Training games have moved from sport ID 3 (MLB) to sport ID 30. If you previously consumed spring training events under 3, update your integration to use 30. Regular-season MLB games remain under sport ID 3.

Season-specific sports share the same feature set and data model as their parent sport. For example, MLB Spring Training (30) supports the same markets, stats, and endpoints as MLB (3).

A – in the table means the feature is not available for that sport and there are no current plans to add it.

Soccer leagues (IDs 10–19) do not use rotation numbers. Event IDs are generated from team IDs and match dates instead of the standard rotation number system used by US sportsbooks. For example, a soccer match between two teams will have an event ID derived from those team IDs and the match date, rather than a rotation number pair like 501/502 used in NFL or NBA.

Soccer Leagues

All soccer leagues share the same data model and endpoints. Team stats, player stats, and game stats are available for all leagues.

League	ID
MLS (Major League Soccer)	10
EPL (English Premier League)	11
Ligue 1 (French First Division)	12
Bundesliga (German First Division)	13
La Liga (Spanish First Division)	14
Serie A (Italian First Division)	15
UEFA Champions League	16
UEFA Europa League	17
FIFA (International Tournaments)	18
J-League (Japanese First Division)	19

Soccer events use additional statuses not found in other sports: STATUS_FULL_TIME, STATUS_FINAL_AET (after extra time), STATUS_FINAL_PEN (after penalties), STATUS_ABANDONED, and STATUS_HALFTIME_ET. See Event Statuses for details.

For the API endpoints that return events by sport, see the Events API reference. For answers to common questions about sports, IDs, and data coverage, see the FAQ.
