Twenty\u2010seven performance indicators (PI's) were collated from 1585 matches from the German Bundesliga 1 and 2, Spanish La Liga and Australian A\u2010League. Environmental data were obtained for dry\u2010bulb temperature (T) and wet\u2010bulb globe temperature (WBGT) retrospectively from public sources. For each league, linear regressions were used to determine relationships between PI's and T and WBGT and linear mixed models were used to determine those associations across all four leagues. Individual leagues showed varying associations between a collection of PI's and environmental measures. When combining the four leagues' match data, 8 of the 17 investigated parameters were associated with T and WBGT (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.002). Passes, especially short passes, were reduced in higher T (\u22122.3 [\u22123.1 to \u22121.5] and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001) and WBGT (\u22123.1 [\u22124.0 to \u22122.1] and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001), alongside an increase in the success rate of passes (0.06 [0.02\u20130.09] and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0\u2264\u00a00.001). The number of passes into the opponent's final third was reduced for both T (\u22120.18 [\u22120.25 to \u22120.05] and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.001) and WBGT (\u22120.17 [\u22120.28 to\u22120.05] and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.002), but the number of key passes leading to a shot or goal was not associated with T or WBGT (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0\u2265\u00a00.67). The number of touches, take\u2010ons and turnovers were reduced in higher T and WBGT (all <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). Accordingly, in higher heat stress, match actions, especially those performed at high volumes, are reduced. Therefore, teams should expect a possibly altered match play and may consider adapting tactical or heat\u2010mitigating strategies to counter these effects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejsc.12256","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,15]],"date-time":"2025-02-15T13:04:26Z","timestamp":1739624666000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Associations Between Match\u2010Play Characteristics and Environmental Temperatures in 4 Professional Football Leagues"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9901-0035","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edgar","family":"Schwarz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sports and Preventive Medicine Saarland University  Saarbr\u00fccken Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5641-1314","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rob","family":"Duffield","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health University of Technology Sydney  Ultimo NSW Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2949-4150","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew Roman","family":"Novak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health University of Technology Sydney  Ultimo NSW Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dennis Alan","family":"Compton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sports and Preventive Medicine Saarland University  Saarbr\u00fccken Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3425-4546","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tim","family":"Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sports and Preventive Medicine Saarland University  Saarbr\u00fccken Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18637\/jss.v067.i01"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2012-091296"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14198\/jhse.2018.132.07"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40279\u2010015\u20100386\u20108"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Statistical Analysis for the First Bundesliga in the Current Soccer Season","volume":"7","author":"Broich H.","year":"2014","journal-title":"Progress in Applied Mathematics"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports\u20102024\u2010108131"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsams.2007.07.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s\u20100031\u20101273711"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","unstructured":"Casanueva A.2019. \u201cHeat Stress: Calculation of Heat Stress Indices.\u201dGen\u00e8ve Switzerland: Zenodo.
