Sports Standings, Fixtures, Form & Tennis Rankings

Who is top, who is in form, and what is on next? Pick your competitions and get one report each: the full table, a form guide, the results just played, the fixtures coming up, and — for tennis — the ATP and WTA ranking lists.

Twenty competitions: the big five European leagues, the Champions League and Europa League, Eredivisie, Primeira Liga, Brasileirão, Liga MX, Liga Profesional, MLS, plus NBA, WNBA, NFL, MLB, NHL and the ATP and WTA tours. From ESPN's public data. No account, no API key.

What does this do?

Most sports scrapers hand you a list of matches. This one gives you the state of a competition — table, form, what just happened, what is next — and hands you the matches as well.

What data do you get?

One row per competition:

Field	Meaning
standings	The full table, grouped where the sport uses conferences: position, played, won, drawn, lost, points, goals or points for and against, difference, streak, and any qualification note
leader, leaderPoints, leaderRecord, leadMargin	Who is top and by how much
seasonStarted, note	Between seasons the table is all zeros, so no leader is declared and the note says why
formGuide	Each team's latest form string (WWDLW), turned into wins, draws, losses and points per match, best run first
recentResults	The last matches played, with scores, winners and venues
upcomingFixtures, nextFixture	What is on next, with kick-off times, venues and both sides' form
matchesPlayed, averageGoalsPerMatch (or points, or runs)	Scoring level for the period read
homeWinPercent, drawPercent, awayWinPercent	How much home advantage is worth right now
biggestWin, highestScoringMatch	The standout results of the period
rankings, biggestRise, biggestFall	For ATP and WTA: the ranking list with points and movement, and who is climbing fastest
espnUrl	The same view on ESPN

With Also return every match as a row on (the default), a second table holds every match read: date, competition, both teams, score, status, winner, venue and each side's form.

Example: nine competitions, September 2026

One run from Apify's servers, two months of matches, 3.1 seconds, 662 match rows:

Competition	Teams	Leader	Points	Matches read
English Premier League	20	Manchester City	15	49 played, 2.84 goals/match, 36.7% home wins
Spanish LaLiga	20	Barcelona	21	65 played, 3.02 goals/match, 44.6% home wins
German Bundesliga	18	Borussia Dortmund	12	34 played, 3.91 goals/match, 52.9% home wins
Italian Serie A	20	AS Roma	13	48 played, 2.92 goals/match, 41.7% home wins
UEFA Champions League	36	Paris Saint-Germain	3	18 played, 3.83 goals/match, 61.1% home wins
NFL	32	Buffalo Bills	–	66 played, 45.5% home wins
NBA	30	season not started	–	0 played
ATP Tour	100 ranked	Jannik Sinner	11,500	–
WTA Tour	100 ranked	Elena Rybakina	9,901	–

Read across that table and you can see the Bundesliga is the highest-scoring of the big leagues at 3.91 goals a game, and that home advantage varies more than people assume — 36.7% of Premier League matches went to the home side in this period against 52.9% in Germany.

Things worth knowing

• Between seasons there is no leader. A league that has not kicked off has a table of zeros, and sorting it would crown whoever happens to be listed first. Those reports carry seasonStarted: false and a note instead, with the fixtures still listed. That is why the NBA row above says "season not started" rather than naming a team.
• The match window is months, not a date range. ESPN accepts a month (202609) or a single day, but rejects a dashed range with HTTP 400. The Actor reads the months you ask for plus the month ahead, which is what makes upcoming fixtures appear.
• Form comes from ESPN, newest first. WWDLW means won the last two. It is converted to points per match so a five-match run and a three-match run can be compared.
• Conference sports come back grouped. The NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL return two groups; soccer leagues return one; the Champions League league phase is a single 36-team table.
• Scores are named for the sport. Soccer and hockey get goalsFor, basketball and football get pointsScored, baseball gets runsScored, and the averages are labelled to match.
• An out-of-season competition answers 404, which the Actor reports as "out of season" rather than treating as an error.
