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.

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.
