  I'm not sure you'll find anything free - as I recall there were a several 
incidents a few years ago where the data owners went after websites who were 
putting tables and fixtures up without paying a licence fee.

  But you never know.

Thank you very much Adam !  I will try to contact to FA or other premier 
league Co.  lets see if I can find a free source.

I have been looking for a source, where I can read All football clubs and 
national teams and football score information via web services.  However, I 
could not find one yet.   I can use Wiki to get football players details but I 
need to a free source, where I can get football scores and league table info.  
I cannot effort paying for this as the website is not commercial website.  it 
is just a football discussion sites, where all friends and football fan can 
have their talks.

I doubt you have very little chance with the BBC as i think they 
republished information maintained by a third party who have very strict 
distribution rules.  

Your probably better trying to talk to the FA.  Alternativly there is the 
following message at the bottom of the fixture list, however its probably very 
expensive to purchase the rights.

MediaWiki provides the content of the site as database, which is for 
non-commercial purposes.  Do you think, it is ok if I used it for my website, 
which I am not making money from.  It is just there for my friends and football 
lovers to discuss about up coming matches and passed matches.I need to find 
all football clubs and football players info/profile.  I am just thinking of 
download MediaWiki database and run it locally on my web server.I hope it 
is ok as i am not making money from the website.  I am happy to mentioned the 
content e.g. powered by wiki etc..
