Assignments are at the stadium serving your area, and several sit outside the city they are listed under — Foxborough for Boston, Orchard Park for Buffalo, Santa Clara for the Bay Area, Arlington for Dallas, Glendale for Phoenix, Landover for Washington, East Rutherford for New York and Inglewood for Los Angeles. Los Angeles and New York / New Jersey each host two teams, so those two areas have roughly twice the games. If you are not near any of these, you can still apply — choose "Other" on the application and we will keep you on file as coverage expands.
Get paid to go to NFL games. $100 per game, your ticket and travel covered, and it's around 2–4 games a month through the season.
About us
We build structured event data sets for professional sports. Our collection team works across several leagues; this opening is for our football coverage. We're hiring field analysts at every NFL stadium in the United States.
The role
Field analysts attend assigned games in person and record what happens during the game using our mobile collection tool. Full training provided — no prior data experience required. A good fit alongside school or other work.
Assignments are NFL regular-season and postseason games at the stadium nearest you. Most games are on Sundays, with some Thursday, Monday and Saturday games. The regular season runs through early January, followed by the playoffs.
Speed and accuracy are what this job is judged on. Everything else — the travel, the ticket, the schedule — is arranged around those two things. An event has to be recorded the instant it happens and it has to be right.
A record that is late is worth far less than one that is on time, and one that is wrong is worse than none at all. This is why we ask for people who genuinely know football: you cannot be fast if you are still working out what you just saw.
Compensation
$100 per assignment attended. Game ticket and all travel expenses fully covered, including rideshare, transit and parking to and from the stadium.
The $100 base rate is not fixed. Rates are reviewed periodically and may be adjusted up or down for future assignments based on how accurate and reliable your game records are — did you catch the events, were they on time, did you show up when scheduled. Analysts who consistently exceed the standard are moved to a higher rate.
Independent contractor. Payment within 3 days of each assignment.
What the assignment involves
- Attend assigned games in person at your local stadium, ticket provided
- Record game events through the tool as they occur
- Stay for the full game, including overtime, and submit your record before leaving the stadium
Requirements
- Available for regular game-day assignments through the season — Sundays above all — and willing to travel to your assigned stadium. Travel is fully covered, including rideshare and transit
- Deep passion/familiarity with football. We need people who have played the game or followed it closely for years — enough that reading a play is second nature. You should be able to tell what just happened on your own, immediately, without waiting for the video board, the referee's announcement, or the reaction of the crowd around you. You should know the rules well enough to recognise a scoring play, a turnover or a flag the moment it happens.
- You'll be working the game rather than watching it socially — we need your attention on the field throughout
- Smartphone with reliable cellular data, charged to last the full game
- Dependable scheduling and responsiveness; assignments are confirmed in advance

- Longtime follower of the NFL or college football
- Officiating experience, or work on a chain crew or as a spotter
- Coaching, scouting, statistician, or game-scoring experience
- Prior sports data collection work
