Utterly disastrous news for public access to soccer data and statistics. www.sports-reference.com/blog/2026/01...
At Sports Reference we have taken great pride in the role FBref has played over the last seven years as an expansive source for soccer fans all over the world. Unfortunately, last week the provider of our advanced soccer data sent us a letter terminating our access to their data feeds and requiring the deletion of their data from the site immediately. As a result, we have removed the provider's data from FBref and Stathead in compliance with their demand.

The data provider has asserted that our use of the data violated our agreement. Their demand came unexpectedly despite our long-standing and good-faith operation of FBref and Stathead. We have operated the sites in a consistent manner from their creation (well before the signing of this agreement) through today, and we have always welcomed open and frank discussions about how the sites operate.

Any effort to retain access to this advanced data would have been costly and uncertain. Under the circumstances, we have decided to comply with the termination notice.

This creates a significant gap in the stats offered on FBref and Stathead. We are heartbroken both for our users who have come to rely upon this product and for our team that has spent thousands of hours bringing these stats to life and supporting our users. We are especially upset by the massive step back this creates in access for women's advanced soccer data. Data Democratization is a core Sports Reference value and the removal of this data is a sad day for all of us.

We will take time to assess possible paths forward. FBref will continue to present the deep historic basic data we have for over one hundred competitions, but if we present advanced data in the future it will certainly have a dramatically smaller scale.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.
Dale Partridge on Twitter writes: "Feminist media is BIG mad about me saying that women shouldn’t wear underwear (leggings and sports bras) as outerwear.

As Pearl says, “It’s amazing how hard women will fight to be naked.”

Immodest ladies, read 1 Tim. 2:9, repent, and follow Christ."

Attached are two images.

Image 1 headline: “Outraged pastor slams worker at quaint coffee shop for wearing ‘sinful’ leggings and sports bra in front of kids”

Image 2 headline: “‘Make sin shameful again’: Pastor sparks row after sports bra complaint”

The switch to a July-May season for the #MLS seems sensible for many reasons, and I think this is an important one: MLS matches are played in significantly higher temperatures compared to the top 🇪🇺 leagues. Also, judging by those recent CPL highlights, snow football looks awesome, bring it on

The TLDR is that the Japanese summer acts as a brick wall for players who have already been playing for 4 months: easier to get fatigued, get injured, slow down. Whereas if you’re starting in August, you’re hopefully doing so fresh and able to play better, then you ride that into the fall/winter.

I’ve definitely posted about it - they have some really interesting data on high-intensity plays and how they really nosedive in Japan over the summer vs. steadily rise in Europe over the course of the season.
