Sportmonks Football

Verified Jul 2026

Sportmonks' Football API is a token-based JSON REST service spanning 2,500+ leagues worldwide, with fixtures, live scores and events, lineups, standings, head-to-head stats, xG, pre-match and in-play odds from 50+ bookmakers, and AI-driven predictions, all composable via an `?include=` parameter that eager-loads related resources in one call. A genuine free plan (Danish Superliga and Scottish Premiership, no card or expiry) sits alongside paid Starter/Growth/Pro/Enterprise tiers priced by league coverage, each with a 14-day trial. A live probe of the real API host confirmed the token requirement (401 without one) and no CORS header on cross-origin requests.
