# Data availability Use this page to confirm that CFBD has the seasons needed for your project. Choose a data family, check its range and notes, then open the linked API operation to build a request. Coverage was last verified on September 3, 2026. ## How to read the ranges - Ranges are inclusive. `Present` means the dataset is still maintained, but the current season may be incomplete while games are being played or source data is being updated. - A listed season means supported records are available. It does not guarantee that every team, game, subdivision, or response field is complete. - `Latest completed season` is used for derived data that is produced after a season ends. `Latest draft` and `current recruiting cycle` follow their own calendars rather than the played season. - Known missing seasons and material changes in coverage are listed in the notes. An empty response inside a range should not automatically be treated as a zero. ## Games and schedules | Data | Available seasons | API access | Notes | | ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Games, scores, records, and matchups | 1869–present | [Games](/api/games#getgames), [records](/api/games#getrecords), [matchups](/api/teams#getmatchup) | No game records are available for 1871.
