24 datasets

Sports data is one of the most detailed kinds of public data. Baseball has Lahman's Baseball Database for season statistics and Retrosheet for game and play-by-play records. Cricsheet provides ball-by-ball cricket data, the NFL play-by-play data comes from the nflfastR project, and the Tennis Match Charting Project records point-level detail. For football there are the Transfermarkt datasets, updated weekly, and match results with goal minutes for 91 leagues.

Other entries cover AFL player match statistics, Pro Kabaddi seasons, OpenPowerlifting meet results (CC0) and Ergast Formula 1 data, an API that has since been retired, so look for a successor or archive. Licences differ: Lahman is CC BY-SA, Retrosheet asks for a specific credit notice, and the tennis charting data is non-commercial. Player names and team codes change across sources, so plan an ID mapping before joining datasets.
