[American Football Widgets](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/features?hsLang=en#american-football-widgets) # American Football Standings Widget ## Add an American Football competition table to a post. The **Standings** widget displays the current table for an American Football competition and season, grouped by stage, directly inside your article. The fastest way to add an American Football widget: select the **American Football** icon in the quick-add row below the article body — no need to open the full block picker and search a category list. ### Preconditions - Your project must have the American Football feature enabled. Widget categories are switched on per project, so if **American Football widgets** does not appear in the block picker, ask your administrator to enable it. - You need permission to create or edit articles. - The competition you want must have at least one season recorded. ### Adding the American Football Standings Widget to a post To set up the widget: 1. Open an article for editing, or create a new one. 2. Below the blocks in the article body is a row of quick-add buttons: the content blocks first, then one icon for each sport enabled on your project, then **+**. Hover an icon to see its name — the **American Football** icon is hovered here. ![The quick-add row below the article body: content-block buttons, then one icon for each sport enabled on this project, then +. The American Football icon is hovered and shows its name.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/widgets/american-football/standings/01-sport-icons.png?width=683&name=01-sport-icons.png) 3. Select the **American Football** icon, then choose **Standings** from the widget list that opens. ![The American Football widgets list opened from the sport icon, with Standings among its widgets.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/widgets/american-football/standings/02-widget-list.png?width=421&name=02-widget-list.png) 4. Set the widget options. **Competition**, **Season**, **Stage**, **Highlight teams**, **Default group type** and others control what it shows. ![The Standings options panel as it first opens.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/widgets/american-football/standings/03-options-panel.png?width=651&name=03-options-panel.png) 5. Check the options are the ones you want. Some fields depend on others, so a list can be empty until you set the field above it. **Default group type** works this way: it stays disabled until you select a stage, because its choices come from that stage. Choose the group type the table should open on, or leave it empty to use the widget default (Overall). ![The American Football Standings options panel with Competition NFL - USA, Season National Football League-2025/26 and Stage Regular Season selected. The Default group type dropdown, below Highlight teams, is open and lists Group (GROUP) and Conference (CONFERENCE); its placeholder reads Widget default (Overall).](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.3/standings--american-football-default-group-type.png?width=651&name=standings--american-football-default-group-type.png) 6. When done, select **Save block**. ![The saved American Football Standings block in the article body: a summary card listing the competition, highlighted teams, start position, header setting and the chosen group type (GROUP).](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.3/standings--american-football-saved-block.png?width=683&name=standings--american-football-saved-block.png) 7. Hover the saved block. Of the controls that appear (**Copy embed code**, **Preview**, **Edit** and **Remove**), select **Preview** to see the real widget. ### American Football Standings Widget options - **Competition** *(required)* — The competition whose data you want to show. The panel opens with one already selected; replace it with the one you want. - **Season** — The season within the chosen competition. Options depend on which competition you selected above. - **Stage** — Limits the widget to a single stage of the competition, such as a group phase or a knockout round. - **Highlight teams** *(optional)* — Emphasizes one or more teams in the results so readers can find them quickly. The field starts empty. - **Default group type** — The group type the table opens on, for example Group or Conference. Which group types appear depends on the selected stage, and each choice is shown as a name followed by its code, such as **Conference (CONFERENCE)**. The field is disabled until you select a stage. Leave it empty to use the widget default (Overall). It does not depend on **Display widget header**. - **Limit** — The maximum number of rows to display. - **Start from position** — The table position to start from (1 = first place). Combine it with Limit to show a slice of the table; for example, Limit 6 and Start from position 5 shows positions 5 to 10. - **Display widget header** — Shows the widget’s own heading above its content. - **Refresh time** — Controls how often the published widget refetches its data. Leave empty to use your project’s global refresh setting. ### What the American Football Standings Widget shows American Football tables use win percentage (PCT) rather than competition points, the standard convention for this sport. In the NFL conference view the four division winners are listed first, so the order follows playoff seeding rather than PCT alone: - **MP** — matches played: how many matches the team has completed - **W** — won: matches the team won - **L** — lost: matches the team lost - **D** — drawn: matches that ended level — rare, but possible - **PCT** — win percentage: the share of played matches won, shown as a percentage and used instead of points ### Preview of the American Football Standings Widget The widget shows a stage selector (Regular Season / Play Offs) and a Group / Conference switch, then one table per conference or group with a row for each team. ![The American Football Standings widget rendered in the CMS preview. The widget shows a stage selector (Regular Season / Play Offs) and a Group / Conference switch, then one table per conference or group with a row for each team.](https://knowledge-base.sportal365.com/hs-fs/hubfs/knowledge-base/cms-4.8.0/widgets/american-football/standings/06-preview.png?width=671&name=06-preview.png) ### Good to know Only the preview shows the real widget. The collapsed block and the options panel show a CMS summary card instead — always check preview before publishing. - The preview area is narrower than a published page, so the widget uses its compact layout there and may hide columns that the published version shows. - The widget always renders whichever version of the sports widgets library your project is on. There is no version to set. - If something is missing when you select **Save block**, a red message appears in the form (for example **No competition selected**) and the block is not saved. A new block opens without error messages; they appear only after you select **Save block**. - If you change the stage after choosing a **Default group type**, your choice is kept and checked against the new stage. When the new stage does not offer it, a message says so: choose another group type or clear the field before you save. - A block saved earlier keeps the group type it already had, and that type shows in the field when you edit the block. -
