Every stage ESPN lists (league, qualifying, knockouts, playoffs). European seasons run across two years; MLS seasons are calendar years. The 2020 schedule (108 matches) is loaded and fills in as they are played.
What it does not have
- Seasons are calendar years. 2020 has no matches (the season was cancelled).
- 2013 to 2018: results only, with lineups and goals for some 2013 and 2014 matches.
- Player and team box scores for nine in ten matches in 2019 and 2022, about half in 2024, and every match from 2025. In 2021 and 2023 goals, assists and cards are counted from the match events and the rest is null.
- Shot locations from 2025, plus about half of 2024's matches.
- Sportsbook lines from 2023: about a third of matches in 2023, nine in ten in 2024, every match since, one book a match from 2025.
