Why EssentiallySports?
EssentiallySports has grown from a small college-room blog in 2014 into one of the most dynamic digital-first sports media platforms in the world. Built around the idea of delivering “the fan’s perspective,” the brand now reaches millions of readers every month with coverage that feels personal, informed, and deeply connected to the moments that matter.
The platform covers a wide spectrum of sports, including the NBA, NFL, NASCAR, UFC, Tennis, Golf, WNBA, and more. Our newsroom produces news, features, interviews, and analysis that go beyond scores to explore rivalries, culture, and the stories behind the headlines. Alongside written content, we also create newsletters, videos, event coverage, and exclusive creator-driven pieces.
A major strength of EssentiallySports lies in its vibrant ecosystem of creators and contributors. We collaborate with popular creators like Devin ‘In the Lab’ Williams, Ashley Reid, Adam Garfield, and Andrew Whiteflaw, who offer fresh perspectives and unique storytelling styles.
Our esteemed journalist team includes NFL editorial chief Tim Wood, NBA analyst Ryan Ward, NASCAR senior correspondent Jerry Bonkowski, NFL analyst Mike Fisher, and on-ground correspondent Luke Hubbard, all providing expert coverage across their specialized sports beats.
Additionally, through our Creator Program, active athletes such as WNBA champion Natasha Howard and NASCAR legend Mark Martin contribute firsthand insights, giving fans an insider’s view straight from the court and the track.
EssentiallySports also maintains a strong on-ground presence at major events, including the WNBA All-Star Weekend and the U.S. Open. This allows the team to deliver timely coverage, exclusive access, and firsthand reporting that fans can rely on.
With our blend of experienced journalists, athlete voices, creator personalities, and live event access, EssentiallySports offers a richer, more credible, and more engaging way to follow the world of sports, all from a truly fan-first point of view.
