Is WNBA data live right now?

Yes. The 2026 season is loaded and in progress — 187 games so far, 180 finished — with new scores added through the day as games are played, alongside full historical results back through the start of the loaded window. See "How fresh is live WNBA data?" below for the exact refresh cadence.

Are WNBA odds available?

Yes — moneyline odds are priced for 96.1% of finished games (173 of 180) — spreads and totals are not loaded for WNBA yet.

Is there a WNBA standings endpoint?

Not yet — /v1/standings does not have a WNBA adapter loaded. Team form and head-to-head history are available today via /v1/teams/:id/form in the meantime.

Are individual player stats or player props available?

Not yet. Today’s WNBA data is team-level: game scores, box-score team stats, and moneyline odds. Player-level stats and props are not loaded for this league.

Is it on the free tier?

Yes. Every endpoint listed here is free, 1,000 req/day (2,000 with GitHub connected).

Which WNBA seasons does the API cover?

The single 2026 WNBA season — 187 games loaded so far, 180 already finished, out of the league’s 44-game-per-team regular season that runs May 8 through September 24, 2026. There is no multi-season archive for WNBA yet; historical seasons before 2026 are not loaded.

What's the difference between WNBA and NBA coverage on this API?

They share the same schema and the same basketball surface, but depth differs today. NBA has play-by-play back to the 1946-47 season, player props with hit rates, and a full standings adapter. WNBA is the current 2026 season only, team-level (scores, box scores, moneyline odds) with no standings, no player-level stats, and no props yet. Both are the same /v1/matches, /v1/matches/:id/odds, and /v1/teams/:id/form calls with league=wnba or league=nba.

How fresh is live WNBA data?

WNBA scores refresh through the day via a scheduled REST pull from the odds/schedule provider, not the sub-15-second live poller that covers NBA, MLB, NHL, and the top soccer leagues on this API — that faster path does not cover WNBA yet. In practice that means a WNBA score can lag by hours during a live game rather than update in near real time; final results and box scores land after the next scheduled refresh once a game ends. If sub-minute in-game score ticks matter for your use case, NBA is the better fit today.

The WNBA API for developers ballers.

WNBA scores with quarter-by-quarter linescores, per-team box score stats, and moneyline odds, updated through the day as games are played. 187 games loaded for the 2026 season — 180 finished, 96.1% of those already priced with moneyline odds.

Everything WNBA. One key.

Scores, quarter-by-quarter linescores, team box scores, and moneyline odds sit behind the same API key and the same schema as every other sport on this API. There is no separate WNBA-only integration, no second vendor to fill the gaps, and no different envelope to learn.

96.1% of finished games already carry moneyline odds — 173 of 180 games, and growing as more games get priced.
100% of finished games carry team box scores — every team, every finished game, no exceptions.
Matches, odds, and box scores key on the same ids as the rest of the API, so WNBA code ports straight to NBA, NCAAB, or any other sport with a query-param change.
Honest about the gaps: standings, player-level stats and props, lineups, and injury data are not loaded for WNBA yet — see the FAQ for exactly what is and is not covered.
