ESPN Magazine is a well-known sports publication that has made a significant impact on the sports media landscape since its debut in March 1998. It is published by the ESPN Sports Network, a major brand in sports broadcasting and journalism. ESPN Inc., the parent company behind the magazine, is jointly owned by two prominent media giants, The Walt Disney Company and Hearst Communications. The network itself was originally founded by Bill Rasmussen, Scott Rasmussen, and Ed Egan, with the goal of revolutionizing sports coverage. Today, the company is led by President James Pitaro, and ESPN Magazine operates out of its headquarters located in Bristol, Connecticut.
Since its launch, ESPN Magazine has gained a large and loyal readership, boasting over two million subscribers. The publication follows a fortnightly schedule, meaning new issues are released every two weeks. This consistent release cycle allows it to provide readers with timely insights and updates on the world of sports. The magazine covers a wide range of sports and leagues, including but not limited to the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAAF, NASCAR, WNBA, WWE, MMA, and college athletics. Each issue dives deep into the stories behind the athletes, games, and organizations that shape the industry.
One of the magazine’s strengths lies in its diverse and engaging content sections. For example, The Biz explores the business aspects of sports, shedding light on how economics, endorsements, contracts, and team management play a role in shaping athletes’ careers and fan experiences. Peter King is a notable contributor to this section. Another standout feature is The Zoom, a visually-driven spread that highlights a powerful Image of the Week across two full pages. Meanwhile, The Truth section, often found at the back of the magazine, discusses controversial or hard-hitting topics in sports culture, providing readers with a deeper, often provocative perspective.
The magazine also regularly features high-profile athletes on its covers and inside stories. Some of the most popular cover stars have included Dak Prescott, Derek Jeter, Colin Kaepernick, Gina Carano, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen, among many others. These features not only celebrate athletic achievement but also offer readers personal stories, interviews, and behind-the-scenes insights.
In addition to the English-language edition, ESPN also offers a Spanish-language version titled “ESPN Deportes La Revista”, broadening its reach to a diverse audience. The U.S. edition is currently overseen by Editor-in-Chief Alison Overholt, who ensures the magazine maintains its high editorial standards.
For those interested in subscribing, ESPN Magazine offers an annual subscription for $29.95 in the U.S., which includes a free $10 Amazon gift card for new subscribers. Canadian customers can subscribe for $44.95 per year, with an additional $15 delivery fee.
