About us

SPORTSBEAT - SUPPLYING PRESS AND ONLINE CLIENTS WITH 20,000 STORIES A YEAR FROM NEWSROOMS IN LONDON & MANCHESTER

Every year we tell thousands of stories.
Tales of triumph and despair.
Gold medals and 43rd places.
Five-goal thrillers and no score bore draws.
It's always someone else's headline.
But this. This is our story.

ON THE SCENE: You'll find our reporters on the scene at events around the world, from the Olympic Games to the UK School Games, from the Parks to Premiership

DON'T take our word it, this is what our editors say: "Sportsbeat's team of knowledgeable writers have provided sharp and incisive copy, to length and on deadline, from all over the world. A credible alternative to wire copy."

From newsrooms in London and Manchester, the agency distributes text, videos, camera ready pages and supplements to more than 200 newspapers and 150 websites across the UK and around the world.

We report football and rugby union from the Parks to the Premiership (producing 300 match reports a week during the season) and cover sport from the grass roots up - you'll find our reporters at the UK School Games, as well as the Olympic Games.

Editors trust our content and more and more brands are realising the power of the media we supply.

We work with sponsors to leverage their partnerships and provide news distribution and official press agency services to a number of leading events and national governing bodies, including UK Athletics, British Swimming, the England and Wales Cricket Board and the British Olympic Association.

We also provide content, in a number of languages, and run official websites for sports competitions and associations, including the Six Nations.

We're a team that works hard and, very occasionally, plays hard too. We love what we do and we love delivering our editors with top-quality content. 

Here's some of our reporters in recent action - occasionally we've even had a go ourselves...with mixed results.
