Sources and methodology

Last updated: 15 November 2026

How we obtain and display sports data on the ScoreLivePRO website and apps.

Our data provider

All match data comes from a licensed professional sports data provider, API-Sports (API-Football service for football). ScoreLivePRO receives it automatically and displays it without changing its content.

What we cover

Football, basketball, hockey, volleyball, handball, rugby and baseball. For football we show scores, events (goals, cards, substitutions, VAR), line-ups, statistics, player ratings, standings, top scorers, transfers and injuries. Coverage depends on the competition: for some minor leagues some data is not available.

How it is updated

• Live matches – data is updated within seconds; notifications are sent when the provider records the event.
• Matches without live coverage – for some competitions the result only arrives after the match ends.
• Standings, squads, transfers and injuries – updated periodically and may not reflect the very latest news straight away.

Ratings and statistics

Player ratings and statistics are calculated by the data provider, not by the ScoreLivePRO editorial team, and may differ from other sources.

Possible differences

A data item may change after publication (for example a goal credited to another player or a disciplinary decision). Official sources are leagues, federations and clubs. See also the sports data disclaimer.

Blog articles

Articles use the provider's data and official sources checked by the editorial team: see the editorial policy.
