MLS (Major League Soccer) event data
Event data covers every on-ball action (passes, shots, carries, tackles) with pitch coordinates. We found 1 source that publishes it for MLS (Major League Soccer): StatsBomb Open Data. StatsBomb Open Data only has selected (mostly historical) MLS seasons, so it suits research more than current-season work. 4 more providers (such as Hudl StatsBomb and Hudl Wyscout) sell event data but do not publish per-league lists, so they are not counted here.
