The 2026 College Football Data Starter Pack is here
The 2026 Preseason Edition of the College Football Data Starter Pack is out, refreshed and ready before the season ramps up.
What's new this year:
Full 2025 season — season, game, drive, and play-by-play data
The 2026 schedule — start planning matchups before kickoff
A new notebook, Weekly Team Trajectory — track week-by-week form, late-season surges, and volatility
Improvements across all 13 existing notebooks — clearer explanations, better charts, fixed edge cases
It's the same idea as always: clean, structured historical data plus working code, so you can skip the grunt work and start building.
Bought the 2025 pack on Gumroad? Check your email. There's a $25 returning-buyer upgrade waiting for you.
Thanks for being here, especially as the season winds up. Now go build something!

Do you sell a ready made model? If one chose to go the route of this starter pack, how quickly could someone get a model up and running?
I do not but the Model Training Pack directly walks through traininng models and you will have several different models trained by the end of it. https://collegefootballdata.gumroad.com/l/model-training-pack
Hello, will you still provide the weekly model data like you did last year? Which tier gets access to that again? Does buying this guide get you that access as well?
Hello! Yes, weekly model data will be available starting around Week 4/5 to Tier 3+ subscribers. There will be an updated Model Training Pack available for purchase that will contain all historical data (through 2025 season) but will not contain any weekly updates. Currently targeting an August timeframe for releasing that.
