Premier League event data
Event data covers every on-ball action (passes, shots, carries, tackles) with pitch coordinates. We found 2 sources that publish it for Premier League: Dribble and StatsBomb Open Data. StatsBomb Open Data is free; Dribble is paid. StatsBomb Open Data only has selected (mostly historical) Premier League 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research more than current-season work. 4 more providers (such as Hudl StatsBomb and Hudl Wyscout) sell event data but do not publish per-league lists, so they are not counted here.
