football-data

Football (soccer) data across 13 leagues — standings, schedules, match stats, xG, transfers, player profiles. Zero config, no API keys. Covers Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, MLS, Champions League, World Cup, Championship, Eredivisie, Primeira Liga, Serie A Brazil, European Championship. Use when: user asks about football/soccer standings, fixtures, match stats, xG, lineups, player values, transfers, injury news, league tables, daily fixtures, or player profiles. Don't use when: user asks about American football/NFL (use nfl-data), college football (use cfb-data), NBA (use nba-data), WNBA (use wnba-data), college basketball (use cbb-data), NHL (use nhl-data), MLB (use mlb-data), tennis (use tennis-data), golf (use golf-data), Formula 1 (use fastf1), or betting odds (use polymarket or kalshi). Don't use for live/real-time scores — data updates post-match. Don't use get_season_leaders or get_missing_players for non-Premier League leagues (they return empty). Don't use get_event_xg for leagues outside the top 5 (EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1).

skill-install — Terminal

Install via CLI (Recommended)

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/antonelli182/sports-skills-football-data
Or

Football Data

Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, ID conventions, and data shapes.

Setup

Before first use, check if the CLI is available:

which sports-skills || pip install sports-skills

If pip install fails (package not found or Python version error), install from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills.git

The package requires Python 3.10+. If your default Python is older, use a specific version:

python3 --version  # check version
# If < 3.10, try: python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
# On macOS with Homebrew: /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills

No API keys required.

Quick Start

Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues:

sports-skills football get_daily_schedule
sports-skills football get_season_standings --season_id=premier-league-2025

Python SDK (alternative):

from sports_skills import football

standings = football.get_season_standings(season_id="premier-league-2025")
schedule = football.get_daily_schedule()

CRITICAL: Before Any Query

CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify:

  • Season ID is derived from get_current_season(competition_id="...") — never hardcoded.
  • Team ID is verified via search_team(query="...") if only a name is provided.
  • get_event_xg and get_event_players_statistics (with xG) are only called for top-5 leagues (EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1).
  • get_season_leaders and get_missing_players are only called for Premier League seasons (season_id must start with premier-league-).

Choosing the Season

Derive the current year from the system prompt's date (e.g., currentDate: 2026-02-16 → current year is 2026).

  • If the user specifies a season, use it as-is.
  • If the user says "current", "latest", or doesn't specify: Call get_current_season(competition_id="...") to get the active season_id. Do NOT guess or hardcode the year.
  • Season format: Always {league-slug}-{year} (e.g., "premier-league-2025" for the 2025-26 season). The year is the start year of the season, not the end year.
  • MLS exception: MLS runs spring-fall within a single calendar year. Use get_current_season(competition_id="mls").

Related Skills

betting

Betting analysis — odds conversion, de-vigging, edge detection, Kelly criterion, arbitrage detection, parlay analysis, and line movement. Pure computation, no API calls. Works with odds from any source: ESPN (American odds), Polymarket (decimal probabilities), Kalshi (integer probabilities). Use when: user asks about bet sizing, expected value, edge analysis, Kelly criterion, arbitrage, parlays, line movement, odds conversion, or comparing odds across sources. Also use when you have odds from ESPN and a prediction market price and want to evaluate whether a bet has positive expected value. Don't use when: user asks for live odds or market data — use polymarket, kalshi, or the sport-specific skill to fetch odds first, then use this skill to analyze them.

kalshi

Kalshi prediction markets — events, series, markets, trades, and candlestick data. Public API, no auth required for reads. US-regulated exchange (CFTC). Covers football (EPL, UCL, La Liga), basketball, baseball, tennis, NFL, hockey event contracts. Use when: user asks about Kalshi-specific markets, event contracts, CFTC-regulated prediction markets, or candlestick/OHLC price history on sports outcomes. Don't use when: user asks about actual match results, scores, or statistics — use the sport-specific skill: football-data (soccer), nfl-data (NFL), nba-data (NBA), wnba-data (WNBA), nhl-data (NHL), mlb-data (MLB), tennis-data (tennis), golf-data (golf), cfb-data (college football), cbb-data (college basketball), or fastf1 (F1). Don't use for general "who will win" questions unless Kalshi is specifically mentioned — try polymarket first (broader sports coverage). Don't use for news — use sports-news instead.

markets

Markets orchestration — connects ESPN live schedules with Kalshi and Polymarket prediction markets. Unified dashboards, odds comparison, entity search, and bet evaluation across platforms. Use when: user wants to see prediction market odds alongside ESPN game schedules, compare odds across platforms, search for a team/player on Kalshi or Polymarket, check for arbitrage between ESPN odds and prediction markets, or evaluate a specific game's market value. Don't use when: user wants raw prediction market data without ESPN context — use polymarket or kalshi directly. For pure odds math (conversion, de-vigging, Kelly) — use betting. For live scores without market data — use the sport-specific skill.

polymarket

Polymarket sports prediction markets — live odds, prices, order books, events, series, and market search. No auth required. Covers NFL, NBA, MLB, football (EPL, UCL, La Liga), tennis, cricket, MMA, esports. Supports moneyline, spreads, totals, and player props. Use when: user asks about sports betting odds, prediction markets, win probabilities, market sentiment, or "who is favored to win" questions. Don't use when: user asks about actual match results, scores, or statistics — use the sport-specific skill: football-data (soccer), nfl-data (NFL), nba-data (NBA), wnba-data (WNBA), nhl-data (NHL), mlb-data (MLB), tennis-data (tennis), golf-data (golf), cfb-data (college football), cbb-data (college basketball), or fastf1 (F1). Don't use for historical match data. Don't use for news — use sports-news instead. Don't confuse with Kalshi — Polymarket focuses on crypto-native prediction markets with deeper sports coverage; Kalshi is a US-regulated exchange with different market structure.
