Physical Metrics Are Now Included in the Hudl Statsbomb Platform

Physical performance data now sits next to your event and 360 data in the Hudl Statsbomb platform, available for the competitions included in your subscription.

Event and 360 data tell you a lot about what a player does with the ball. Physical Metrics now add what the match asks of them when they don’t have it, in the same platform and in the same view.

What is new in the platform

Each player now has a dedicated physical radar on the player dashboard. In Player Scout, you can add the physical metrics to your view. It shows 14 base metrics, from distance covered to high-intensity running, sprints, accelerations and decelerations, as game aggregates.

The radar follows the same logic as the Statsbomb radars you already know. You can compare a player against peers in the same position, line two targets up side by side, or track how a player's physical output has changed.

Physical data also flows into AI Player Summaries. The plain-language lowdown you get when you open a player now covers their physical profile as well as their technical and tactical one, so a first assessment takes seconds, not the time it takes to write a report by hand.

Why it matters for your analysis

Until now, building a full player picture meant pulling physical data from somewhere else, exporting files and manually matching players. Bringing it into Statsbomb removes that step and puts every layer of a player's game in one view.

That changes how quickly you can answer real questions.

A recruitment analyst looking for a wide forward can filter for players who rank highly on progressive carries and On-Ball Value, then check straight away which of them also cover the high-intensity distance the role requires. It takes a few clicks in one platform, with no second tool needed.

A performance analyst preparing for an opponent can see which players in the opposition lineup carry the heaviest physical output, and pair that with how the team builds attacks and presses. The physical context sits right next to the tactical one.

A sporting director presenting to the board can show a player's technical profile, physical profile and AI summary in the same platform, built on the same data, without stitching sources together.

Built on Hudl tracking data

The metrics are derived from Hudl's tracking data and validated through quality checks designed by our athlete performance and football data specialists. The same expertise that goes into Statsbomb event data shapes how physical output is measured, aggregated and presented.

And because the data lives inside Statsbomb, it also works with the tools you already rely on. Saved templates, filters, comparison tables and player searches all connect to the new physical layer, so that your existing workflows simply get richer.

Where this is heading

This is the first step in bringing physical performance into Hudl Statsbomb. We are planning further metrics and deeper connections with the rest of the platform are already in development, and we will share them as they arrive.

If you want to see this in action, the team behind Hudl Statsbomb will be talking about it at Hudl Performance Insights 2026 on 13 November.

Get started

Physical Metrics are available in your platform today. Open a player dashboard to find the physical radar, or add the physical metrics to your Player Scout view. If you want access to these via API, you can also speak to your Hudl account executive to learn more.
