# Leagues and seasons

In the previous chapters, we’ve discussed the basics of our API, how to enrich your request and how to filter your request. Now it’s time to dive deeper into the data you can obtain.

When you have an active football subscription, you probably choose one of our default or custom plans. Each plan has a list of leagues included. Besides the fact that you can view all the leagues you’ve access to via [my.sportmonks,](https://docs.sportmonks.com/v3/tutorials-and-guides/tutorials/www.my.sportmonks.com) you can also obtain the leagues via our API.

To start with your application, checking all the leagues you’ve access to and their current or historical seasons is recommended. In the next section, we will discuss how you can request your leagues, include data and filter options. After that, we will look at the (historical) seasons.
