About The Sports Business Review

Sports business coverage has a problem: it moves fast and thinks slow. Press releases get treated as analysis. Valuation headlines get reprinted without scrutiny. The deals are covered; the logic behind them rarely is.

The Sports Business Review exists to fix that.

Long-form essays on the business of sports — media rights, ownership economics, labor, league strategy, and the structural forces reshaping how sports are built, sold, and consumed. Every piece tries to get beneath the obvious: the assumption buried in the valuation, the incentive hiding behind the deal, the precedent that explains what’s actually happening.

Sports is one of the most interesting business environments alive. The product is unpredictable by design, the labor is globally famous, and billions of dollars move on outcomes nobody controls.

That’s what we cover.
