Every stage ESPN lists (league, qualifying, knockouts, playoffs). European seasons run across two years; MLS seasons are calendar years.

What it does not have

Seasons are named by the year they start: 2024 = 2024-25. The 2026-27 season is in progress. Stages as ESPN files them: before 2016-17 the group stage is ESPN's first round, and its second and third round are the round of 32 and 16 (renamed here).
Qualifying rounds (3,036 matches, 2009-10 to 2019-20, tagged as knockouts): lineups for 62%, goals for 92%, and almost no box scores or shot locations. ESPN lists none from 2020-21.
Group stage, league phase and knockouts: lineups for every match, player box scores for 93% of matches before 2020-21 and every match since, team box scores for 92% and 99%, shot locations for 99% of matches before 2020-21 and every match since.
Sportsbook lines: none before 2017-18; 6% of main-draw matches in 2017-18 (Caesars), two in three in 2018-19 (Bet 365), every match from 2019-20. Five to eleven books a match from 2019-20 to 2023-24, two since in ESPN's feed. The Odds API adds opening and closing lines from August 2020: a median of 2 or 3 books a match to 2020-21, 4 in 2021-22, 5 in 2022-23, 8 in 2023-24 and 2024-25, 7 in 2025-26. None for qualifying matches.
In 443 of the 2,779 qualifying matches with events, and 3 of the 3,256 others, ESPN's goal events do not add up to the score; the score is ESPN's final score.

Questions

Does it include the qualifying rounds?

Yes to 2019-20, where ESPN lists them, as results with thin detail; each match carries its stage (Second Qualifying Round, Group Stage, League Phase, Round of 16, Final).

Which Europa League seasons are covered?

Results from 2009-10; lineups for the main draw from 2009-10; shot locations in the main draw from 2009-10; sportsbook lines from 2017-18.
