This endpoint returns a list of all currently live sport events along with relevant details such as event ID, name, where and when the event is happening, who is competing in the event etc,

Technically, this endpoint lists all the sport events whose start\_date = 'today'. When a sport event is held for more than a day, it is not included in the list after the start date.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

*If a match starts on one day and is interrupted and continued someday later, it will not appear in the current live sports events. This might happen more frequently in sports like snooker and tennis.*

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sportradar.com/uof/api-and-structure/api/static-sport-event-information/currently-live-sport-events-endpoint/endpoint.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
