CFL Odds API

Our CFL odds API delivers CFL odds, player props, status and results for every game from 43 bookmakers, 38 of them Australian. leagueID=CFL. Free tier available.

Whether you're building a betting app, an odds comparison tool or a pricing model, the CFL odds API gives you structured data in the SportsGameOdds v2 shape so you can move fast.

Covering more than CFL? The American Football returns NCAAF, NFL and CFL from a single sport-level request.

CFL Odds API Features

Every endpoint is filterable, so you pull exactly the markets you need. Coverage spans 8 teams and 4 events currently carried, with 3 market families.

Available CFL betting markets include:

• Head to head / moneylines (2-way and 3-way markets)
• Lines, spreads and handicaps
• Totals (over/under)
• Alternative lines
• Player props and game props
• Period-specific markets (full game)

All market data is pre-match, refreshed every ~2 minutes; see pricing for what each plan can see.

CFL Player Props API

The Australian books price CFL at match and team level today; player props arrive in the same shape (the playerID in the statEntityID slot) as soon as a covered book offers them.

CFL Odds API with Results

SockOdds delivers CFL odds and event data together in one response — no need to stitch data from multiple sources. Each response includes:

• Upcoming CFL events with status flags
• Home and away team data with ids
• Players with production ids where present
• Full odds coverage: lines, totals, head to head, props and alternative lines
• Results and scoringSupported flags where the source grades

Line movement tracking is yours to build: every bookmaker entry carries lastUpdatedAt, and finished events are retained.

Quick start: your first CFL odds API call

Getting CFL odds takes a single HTTP request:

https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&limit=10

curl -X GET "https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&limit=10" -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

const response = await fetch("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&limit=10", { headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } });
const { data, nextCursor, notice } = await response.json();
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));

import requests

response = requests.get("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events", params=dict(oddsAvailable="true", leagueID="CFL", limit="10"), headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"})
output = response.json()
print(output["data"])

require 'net/http'
require 'json'

uri = URI("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&limit=10")
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
req['x-api-key'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, use_ssl: true) { |http| http.request(req) }
puts JSON.pretty_generate(JSON.parse(res.body)['data'])

<?php
$ch = curl_init("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&limit=10");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY']);
$output = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
curl_close($ch);
print_r($output['data']);

This returns all available markets — lines, totals, head to head and props — for upcoming CFL events.

To narrow to a specific market, use the oddID parameter:

https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&oddID=points-all-game-ou-over&includeOpposingOdds=true

curl -X GET "https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&oddID=points-all-game-ou-over&includeOpposingOdds=true" -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

const response = await fetch("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&oddID=points-all-game-ou-over&includeOpposingOdds=true", { headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } });
const { data, nextCursor, notice } = await response.json();
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));

import requests

response = requests.get("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events", params=dict(oddsAvailable="true", leagueID="CFL", oddID="points-all-game-ou-over", includeOpposingOdds="true"), headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"})
output = response.json()

OddIDs follow the format {statID}-{statEntityID}-{periodID}-{betTypeID}-{sideID}, where the entity is a player for props and home, away or all for team and game markets.

Tips to keep responses fast:

• Add bookmakerID=bearbet,betfocus to limit to the bookmakers you care about
• Use includeOpposingOdds=true so you only need to specify one side of a market
• Keep your oddID list tight — only request markets you're actively using

What a CFL response looks like

Every event returns an odds object keyed by oddID. Here's a real market from the feed with the bookmaker list cut to two books:

{
  "eventID": "cfl_2026-09-25_bc_lions_vs_saskatchewan_roughriders",
  "leagueID": "CFL",
  "odds": {
    "points-all-game-ou-over": {
      "oddID": "points-all-game-ou-over",
      "opposingOddID": "points-all-game-ou-under",
      "marketName": "Over/Under",
      "statID": "points",
      "statEntityID": "all",
      "periodID": "game",
      "betTypeID": "ou",
      "sideID": "over",
      "fairOdds": null,
      "bookOdds": null,
      "byBookmaker": {
        "betnow": {
          "odds": "-116",
          "decimal": 1.86,
          "available": true
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Two things worth noting. Odds values are strings, not numbers, so -108 arrives as "-108" — that keeps the leading + intact on underdog prices — and every book also carries decimal, because Australian books quote decimal. bookOdds is the consensus with the vig left in; fairOdds is the de-vigged price on Rookie and above, null where it cannot be computed.
