Sport — every game on a day

Pick a sport — Soccer, Basketball, American Football, Baseball, Ice Hockey or Rugby — and a day from Today up to 6 days ahead. Every game that day scrolls past with its kick-off time. The day is relative, so a “Tomorrow” view keeps showing tomorrow. Refreshes every 30 minutes.

Event — one pinned match

Search a team, then choose one of its fixtures. The view follows that match: teams, Status:, On: and At:. Refreshes every 5 minutes.

  • Previous result shows which match was played and when — not the score.
  • Status: is TheSportsDB's short code, e.g. NS (not started), FT (full time).
  • With the free test key, a league table returns its top 5 teams.
