About SportsML

SportsML is the only open, global XML standard for the interchange of sports data. Designed to be as easy to understand and implement as possible, SportsML allows for the exchange of sports scores, schedules, standings, and statistics for a wide variety of competitions.

Because of limitations with incoming datafeeds, we are not able to produce all our documents in SportsML. Listings with an * in the XML column denote SportsHTML, which essentially means that that document has markup for HTML display but the individual data contained inside is likely not appropriate for storing in a database.

If after you have reviewed these documents you have more questions about the distinction, contact us.

What you will not find here

The listings do not represent every type of document we publish. At the moment, it does not include listings for several premium feeds that we offer, such as play-by-play documents and detailed player bio/stat files from fantasy stat providers. Check out this page for more details on our different packages.

We are currently undergoing a content inventory review that involved adding more samples and document details to this library. Let us know if there is a particular sport or set of files you are interested in and we will prioritize posting samples for you.

About our HTML displays

XML Team offers a starter set of HTML templates that clients can customize to their own look and feel. These HTML templates are not available for every document -- usually just our most popular ones -- however clients can build out the library to their needs. The templating system uses xsl and CSS to present the documents in HTML. More documentation on this system is available.
