Abstract: Part II of this Special Issue on Analytics in Sports is devoted to sports scheduling applications. Sports scheduling has proven to be an exceptionally successful application area for operations research. The papers in this issue demonstrate the breadth of applications for sports scheduling. The sports addressed include baseball, volleyball, Canadian football, softball, and soccer. The sports leagues where scheduling methods are applied range from youth recreation leagues to multibillion-dollar professional leagues. In addition, the articles originate from five countries illustrating the international scope of sports scheduling applications.
