Our Journey

2014

Our story began

With a simple goal to make sports news accessible to all

2020

Found our product market fit

of filling the gap in sports journalism, i.e. a sweet spot between an expert opinion from A-listers like ESPN, SI, B/R, Athletic; and banter corners like Barstool Sports, SubReddits, with ‘The Fan’s Perspective’

2024

A decade into our journey

ES has garnered 2 Billion+ organic pageviews within the last 2 years.

What sets EssentiallySports apart is our shared origin as writers, including our founders. With a team of avid sports followers who thrive on analyzing and writing about their beloved sports, we embody the spirit of enthusiastic fans. This essence is encapsulated in our tagline: The Fan’s Perspective.

Humans of ES

Our editorial practices and commitment to journalism

The high quality of content produced on a platform is always a reflection of the stringent internal editorial standards and the editorial team.

Editorial Guidelines

In the news

A sports platform that aimed to deliver light-hearted content that’d resonate more with youth, and different from what legacy platforms like ESPN offered

Kul Bhushan

Entracker

A usual live-event day is marked with pre-game coverage, where the entire team brainstorms prospective topics. On the gameday, the team banters and writes simultaneously; and the post-game coverage.

The Week Focus

The Week

By capturing the essence of fan experiences, the platform allows readers to deeply connect with the sports they love, going beyond mere reporting and actively shaping the fan engagement landscape.

Outlook

Main Logo

Despite being an upstart in a field full of heavyweights with multi-decade legacy, their digital native strategy seems to have given them a competitive advantage in a crowded market.

Aayan Ansari

The Free Press Journal

It seems like digital sports media companies like EssentiallySports will become more and more mainstream.
