STATSCORE Is Turning Data Into Real-Time Storytelling with LiveCommentaryAPI
Match data is the backbone of sports coverage. Scores, stats, and key events give fans the essentials they need to follow the action. But numbers alone only tell part of the story. With STATSCORE LiveCommentaryAPI, every piece of data – a goal, a red card, a substitution – is transformed into live, engaging commentary that brings the game’s drama and emotion to life.
From Numbers to Live Game Narratives
For years, digital sports updates have been painfully flat. A typical feed might look like this:
- “Goal – 1:0”
- “Red card, 65th minute”
- “Substitution at 70”
Accurate, yes. Engaging? Hardly.
STATSCORE’s approach is different. With LiveCommentaryAPI, every update comes alive. That “Goal – 1:0” becomes:
- “GOOOAAAL! That one’s in – what a strike!”
- or, for a more formal tone: “Goal! A brilliant finish finds the back of the net.”
The same goes for all key aspects of a game, including attempts on goal, corner kicks, penalties, free kicks, injuries, and more:
- “The attempt is blocked by the defense – great positioning there. The blocked shots statistics – 5:1.”
- or: “That’s a tasty spot for a free kick – this could get interesting!”
It’s sports reporting the way fans actually talk about the game, and not just dry updates, but authentic, emotional storytelling.
A Global, Flexible Solution
One of the product’s biggest strengths is its adaptability.
Commentary is available in 40+ languages and can be tailored to match a platform’s voice, whether formal or casual. A betting app might lean toward straightforward, fast-paced updates, while a sports media outlet can opt for more balanced storytelling.

Why Media and Platforms Are Adopting It
For media companies, and sports platforms, the payoff is clear:

- Efficiency in the newsroom: Routine match updates are automated, giving editorial teams space for deeper storytelling.
- Revenue opportunities: Longer sessions and higher engagement open doors to new sponsorships and ad placements.
- Customisation: Tone, language, and style can be fine-tuned to perfectly match brand identity.
