Frequently Asked Questions

SportlyRadar provides live scores, fixtures, results and news for cricket, football and tennis. Cricket coverage includes international matches and major T20 leagues, football covers Europe’s top divisions and international tournaments, and tennis covers ATP and WTA events including the four Grand Slams.

Test cricket is the longest format, played over up to five days with two innings per side and no limit on overs. One Day Internationals give each side 50 overs and finish in a single day. Twenty20 limits each side to 20 overs, completing in around three hours.

Live cricket scores on SportlyRadar update automatically as the match progresses, showing the current score, overs bowled, wickets, run rate, and batting and bowling figures for both sides. The live page lists every match in progress, so you can switch between simultaneous games without reloading.

In most limited-overs tournaments a team earns 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie or no result, and 0 points for a loss. When teams finish level on points, net run rate is the standard tiebreaker — runs scored per over minus runs conceded per over.

Europe’s five major domestic leagues are the Premier League in England, La Liga in Spain, Serie A in Italy, the Bundesliga in Germany and Ligue 1 in France. UEFA ranks them by association coefficient, which determines how many Champions League and Europa League places each country receives.

In almost all football leagues a win is worth 3 points, a draw 1 point and a defeat 0 points. Teams level on points are separated by goal difference and then goals scored in the Premier League, while La Liga and Serie A use head-to-head results first.

The 2030 FIFA World Cup will be co-hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with three centenary matches played in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay. The 2034 edition has been awarded to Saudi Arabia.

A tennis game is scored 15, 30, 40 and then game; at 40–40, called deuce, a player must win two consecutive points. Six games with a two-game margin wins a set, and a tiebreak is played at 6–6. Men’s Grand Slam matches are best of five sets, all others best of three.

Both the ATP and WTA rankings run on a rolling 52-week period, so the points earned at a tournament expire when that event comes round again. A Grand Slam title is worth 2,000 points and an ATP Masters 1000 or WTA 1000 title is worth 1,000, with fewer points for earlier rounds.

The four Grand Slams are the Australian Open in January in Melbourne on hard court, Roland-Garros in late May and early June in Paris on clay, Wimbledon in late June and July in London on grass, and the US Open in late August and September in New York on hard court.
