Find the right soccer data source, fast.

75 soccer data sites, APIs, datasets, libraries, scouting platforms and AI tools, each checked on its official page. Filter by xG, API, free tier, women's leagues, Liga MX and Spanish support.

After FBref lost its advanced stats in January 2026, people have been asking where to find the data instead. Start with FBref alternatives, xG data for Liga MX or free women's league data.

“—” means we could not verify the field on the official page. We leave it blank instead of guessing.
