Use this interactive demo to learn how to locate a sprint ID directly from your Jira board.

Quick summary

The Jira sprint ID is a unique numeric identifier appended to the board URL and can be found by hovering over the Sprint field in an issue's detail panel. This method works on any Jira Software project board without requiring admin access or third-party tools.

Steps

On your Project board, select the Issue whose sprint ID you want to find.
Scroll on the right side of the issue panel to find the Sprint field.
Hover your mouse over the sprint name to see the URL with the sprint ID appear in the bottom-left of your browser.
Read the Sprint ID at the end of the URL — for example, sprintid=1.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to find a sprint ID in Jira is essential for teams that use the Jira REST API, build automations, or run custom reports tied to specific sprints. The sprint ID is a hidden but critical parameter embedded in the board URL, and without it, developers and project managers cannot accurately filter sprint data or trigger sprint-specific workflows. This quick method — selecting an issue, locating the Sprint field, and reading the URL on hover — requires no admin privileges and works across all Jira Software project types. Mastering this lookup saves time and eliminates guesswork when integrating Jira with third-party tools or writing API queries.
