Sports Injury Reports

Get the current injury report of every team in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, college football and college basketball, from ESPN's public website, without an API key.

Fantasy players, betting model builders, sports apps, newsletters and analysts use it to know who is out before the next game, and to build their own injury history by running it every day.

• All teams of a league in one run. One row per injured player, for as many leagues as you pick.
• The details that matter. Status (Out, Doubtful, Questionable, Day-To-Day, injured reserve...), fantasy status, injury type, body part, side, expected return date, last update time, and ESPN's short and long notes.
• Clean IDs and links. ESPN player and team IDs, team abbreviation, position, headshot and player page link, so you can join the data with box scores and rosters.
• No login, no API key, no proxy.
• Low price. $0.50 per 1,000 injured players.

How to use it

1. Click Try for free.
2. Pick the Leagues (or leave them empty for NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL).
3. Optionally add Teams to keep only some of them.
4. Click Start, then download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

To track injuries over time, create a schedule in Apify (for example every morning) and compare the runs.

Limits you should know

• This is the current list only. ESPN shows who is injured now, not past injuries. Schedule the Actor daily to build a history.
• Expected return dates are estimates from ESPN and are often empty or change.
• NFL lists include players marked Active. ESPN keeps players who returned from an injury on the NFL report for a while with the status Active. Filter on status if you only want players who are out or questionable. In our test, 596 of 800 NFL rows were Active.
• Out of season, lists are short. A league in its off-season may return only long-term injuries, or none.
• This is unofficial. The Actor reads the public JSON data that ESPN's own website and apps load. It is not made by, endorsed by or connected to ESPN.

FAQ
