# edgefinder standings — current NFL and NBA standings

> View current NFL or NBA league standings in your terminal with edgefinder standings. Use --json for machine-readable output in scripts and pipelines.

The `standings` command returns the current league standings for the NFL or NBA. Results reflect the live season standings as of the time you run the command. Use `--json` to pipe the output into other tools or store it for automated workflows.

## Syntax

```bash theme={null}
edgefinder standings <nfl|nba> [--json]
```

## Arguments

<ParamField path="path.league" type="string" required>
  The league to retrieve standings for. Must be `nfl` or `nba`.
</ParamField>

## Options

<ParamField path="query.--json" type="boolean">
  Output raw JSON. The `standings` command always outputs JSON; this flag is accepted for consistency with other commands.
</ParamField>

## Examples

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash NFL standings theme={null}
  edgefinder standings nfl
  ```

  ```bash NBA standings theme={null}
  edgefinder standings nba
  ```

<Tip>
  Use standings alongside `ask` to get AI context on what the standings mean for betting:

  ```bash theme={null}
  edgefinder standings nfl | jq '.conferences[0].divisions[0].teams[0]'
  edgefinder ask "Which AFC West team has the best playoff odds right now?"
  ```
</Tip>

<Note>
  Only `nfl` and `nba` are supported. MLB standings are not available from this command.
