UFC Odds API

Our UFC odds API delivers Ultimate Fighting Championship odds, player props, status and results for every fight from 23 bookmakers, 19 of them Australian. leagueID=UFC. Free tier available.

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

UFC Odds API Features

Every endpoint is filterable, so you pull exactly the markets you need. Coverage spans 103 teams and 54 events currently carried, with 4 market families.

Available UFC 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 (reg)

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

UFC Player Props API

The Australian books price UFC 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.

UFC Odds API with Results

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

  • Upcoming UFC 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 UFC odds API call

Getting UFC odds takes a single HTTP request:

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

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

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

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

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=sportsbet,tab 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 UFC 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": "ufc_2026-05-30_amorim_jaqueline_vs_lookboonmee_loma",
  "leagueID": "UFC",
  "odds": {
    "points-away-game-ml-away": {
      "oddID": "points-away-game-ml-away",
      "opposingOddID": "points-home-game-ml-home",
      "marketName": "Fighter Moneyline",
      "statID": "points",
      "statEntityID": "away",
      "periodID": "game",
      "betTypeID": "ml",
      "sideID": "away",
      "fairOdds": null,
      "bookOdds": "-111",
      "byBookmaker": {
        "tab": {
          "odds": "-133",
          "available": true
        },
        "neds": {
          "odds": "-111",
          "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 Base and above, null where it cannot be computed.
