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.
regards,
Rafiq

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.

On the subject of open maps (or not so in the
case of the OS), you might be interested in this project:
http://openstreetmap.org/
(the idea being to create open & free to use
street map data)
