One of the world's most iconic sports brands, The Sporting News was founded in 1886 as a weekly U.S. newspaper. Initially the essential source for baseball and boxing content, it became the dominant sports publication, earning monikers like "The Bible of Baseball."

The Sporting News is now a dynamic, global digital publisher offering a trusted perspective across major sports worldwide, leveraging a global network that understands local nuance. It features localized editions in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Argentina, U.K., Spain, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and Japan with more territories and languages on the horizon.

Trusted and relatable; insightful and imaginative; timeless and crafted:
