Last Fixtures

include=last_fixtures

The last_fixtures include attaches a "form guide" to each fixture: the home team's most recent matches played at home, and the away team's most recent matches played away, both restricted to fixtures that took place before this fixture's kick-off. Each historical match is enriched with its own statistics and metrics, so you can analyse recent venue-specific performance without making additional requests.

Availability: Only returned when include=last_fixtures is added to a request to GET /fixtures. Not available on /fixtures/search or /livescores.

Object Schema

last_fixtures is an object with two arrays:

Each entry in home and away has the same shape as a fixture returned from /fixtures (id, date_time, status, participants, scores, periods, league, season, etc.), plus two additional fields:

Note: statistics and metrics inside last_fixtures are always returned in full and are not affected by filter[statistics] or filter[metrics] on the outer request.

Why Home/Away Form, Not Overall Form

last_fixtures.home only contains matches the home team played at home, and last_fixtures.away only contains matches the away team played away. This isolates venue-specific form — for example, a team's home scoring record vs. its away record — rather than mixing in results from the other venue that may not be representative of how the team performs in this fixture's setting.

Request Examples

Fixture with recent home/away form:

GET /fixtures?fixture_id=1063864&include=last_fixtures

Combine with the upcoming fixture's own statistics and metrics:

GET /fixtures?fixture_id=1063864&include=last_fixtures,statistics,metrics

Example Response

"last_fixtures": {
  "home": [
    {
      "id": 1048750,
      "date_time": "2026-05-02T14:00:00.000Z",
      "status": "FT",
      "is_live": false,
      "league": { "id": 3, "name": "Premier League", "level": 1 },
      "season": {
        "id": 16310,
        "name": "2025/2026",
        "starting_at": "2025-08-15",
        "ending_at": "2026-05-24",
        "is_current": true
      },
      "participants": [
        { "id": 8, "name": "Liverpool FC", "position": 4, "location": "home" },
        { "id": 18, "name": "Chelsea", "position": 9, "location": "away" }
      ],
      "scores": [
        { "fixture_id": 1048750, "team_id": 8, "value": 2, "developer_name": "CURRENT" },
        { "fixture_id": 1048750, "team_id": 18, "value": 1, "developer_name": "CURRENT" }
      ],
      "periods": [],
      "statistics": [
        { "team_id": 8, "type_id": 34, "developer_name": "CORNERS", "value": 6 }
      ],
      "metrics": [
        { "team_id": 0, "type_id": 105, "developer_name": "PREDICTION_GL_CONFIDENCE", "value": 70 }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "away": []
}

An empty array (e.g. "away": []) means no qualifying historical fixtures were found for that team at that venue — for example, a newly promoted team with no prior away matches in the dataset.

Real-World Use Cases

Recent form widget

Show the last 5–10 results for each team at their respective venue, deriving W/D/L badges from the scores of each last_fixtures entry.

Venue-specific scoring trends

Aggregate statistics (e.g. CORNERS, SHOTS_ON_TARGET) across last_fixtures.home and last_fixtures.away to compare a team's attacking output at home vs. on the road.

Pre-match context for predictions

Combine last_fixtures with the upcoming fixture's own metrics to give bettors context behind a prediction — for example, "Team A has scored in 8 of their last 10 home games."
