Football on TV: every match and the channels showing it

Domestic leagues, European club competitions, internationals and cup ties, wherever a TV guide lists them, with each channel in each country and whether it shows the match live. Kick-off times are joined to the fixture lists, so a match moved for television shows its broadcast time.

The API answers "where is this match on TV" for any country: GET /v1/events?sport=football&country=GB, or a whole competition with GET /v1/leagues/{id}/events.

Questions

Which football competitions are included?

Every competition that appears in the TV listings, from the Premier League and Champions League to lower leagues and women's football.

Is the kick-off time the TV time or the match time?

Both are kept: the programme's start in the guide and the fixture's kick-off where we hold it.

Why is a match missing?

A match that no guide lists, such as one under a broadcast blackout, has no channel to show. It appears as soon as a guide carries it.

Can I get one team only?

Yes, filter the events by team name in the API.
