the Athletic

The Athletic is a direct-to-consumer subscription media company offering local and national sports coverage. Founded in 2016, we deliver powerful stories and smart analysis that bring sports fans closer to the heart of the game. With a presence in more than 47 markets in the US, Canada and the UK, our world-class editorial team has produced thousands of in-depth articles as well as podcasts and videos, ranging from breaking news and live commentary to deeply-reported long reads and exclusive interviews. Our headquarters is in San Francisco, and we have offices in New York, Los Angeles, London and Melbourne, Australia, with our 400+ editorial employees based in their respective markets. The Athletic was acquired by The New York Times in 2022. The Athletic is committed to storytelling, and for us, the story begins with our employees — talented writers, editors, engineers, designers, marketers and brand strategists who are excited about building the next great sports media company. We give our people the time, resources and freedom to do their best work.
