# 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`).
## Sport IDs
| Sport | ID | Abbreviation |
| ---------------------- | -- | ------------ |
| NCAA Football | 1 | NCAAF |
| NFL | 2 | NFL |
| MLB | 3 | MLB |
| NBA | 4 | NBA |
| NCAA Basketball | 5 | NCAAB |
| NHL | 6 | NHL |
| UFC/MMA | 7 | UFC |
| WNBA | 8 | WNBA |
| CFL | 9 | CFL |
| MLS | 10 | MLS |
| English Premier League | 11 | EPL |
| Ligue 1 | 12 | FRA1 |
| Bundesliga | 13 | GER1 |
| La Liga | 14 | ESP1 |
| Serie A | 15 | ITA1 |
| UEFA Champions League | 16 | UEFA.CHAMP |
| UEFA Euro | 17 | UEFA.EURO |
| FIFA | 18 | FIFA |
| J-League | 19 | JPN1 |

Use `GET /api/v2/sports` to get the current list of all available sports and their IDs.
## 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 and 33) 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 Euro | 17 |
| FIFA (International Tournaments) | 18 |
| J-League (Japanese First Division) | 19 |
| UEFA Europa League | 33 |
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](/reference/event-statuses) for details.
## Tennis Leagues
ATP and WTA tennis are separate sport IDs so integrations can request each tour independently.
| League | ID |
| ---------- | -- |
| ATP Tennis | 38 |
| WTA Tennis | 39 |
Tennis players are represented through the same home/away event model as team sports. Full-match tennis markets use full-game periods (`0` prematch, `7` live). Set-specific markets use period IDs to identify the set, such as `3` for prematch Set 1, `4` for prematch Set 2, `15` for live Set 1, and `16` for live Set 2.
For the API endpoints that return events by sport, see the [Events API reference](/api-reference/v2/events). For answers to common questions about sports, IDs, and data coverage, see the [FAQ](/faq).
