About The Athletic

Fall in love with the sports page again. The Athletic app lets you follow your favorite sports teams and leagues with in-depth coverage you can't get anywhere else.

The best sportswriters in the business will bring you daily coverage in 14 local markets: Chicago, SF Bay Area, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit, Minnesota, and St. Louis. And in Canada: Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottowa, Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg.

Don't live in of those markers? No problem. The Athletic has top-notch national coverage too: NHL with Pierre LeBrun, MLB with Ken Rosenthal, College Football with Stewart Mandel, College Basketball with Seth Davis, and more coming soon!

The Athletic’s editorial team, which brings previous experience from ESPN, Baseball Prospectus, Sports Illustrated, Fox Sports, CBS, Sportsnet.ca, and Chicago Tribune, delivers daily interviews, game-by-game breakdowns, clubhouse scoop, podcasts, and deep player analysis on the teams you care about.

Within the app, you can choose either a monthly or annual subscription plan for access to all of our exclusive content and features for one low price. The app may also offer you a free trial. At the end of the free trial period, the full price of the subscription will be charged thereafter. Cancellations must occur 24 hours before the end of the subscription period to avoid being charged.

Plans start at just $4.99 a month. All subscriptions automatically renew. You can manage auto-renew of your subscription from your Google Play account settings at any time, but must turn off plans at least 24 hours before the end of the current period to avoid being charged again.

Best sports coverage going. Not even close.

U70%

My news feed no longer works. Works on my iOS device fine.

U70%
by U####:

Awesome writing. App needs some polish. Frustrating to click on story notifications, but not be directed to the actual story. Same thing with external links.

X70%
by X####:

When will the app sync across devices. So when you read one article it shows as read on another.

U70%
by U####:

This is real sports journalism, not sports reality TV, and I love it.

Its great

X70%
by X####:

I just updated the app and now I can't login. This is crazy when you are charging subscription fees. Why not test the app before pushing updates?

U70%
by U####:

Great writing, wish their was a way to change the background from white to make it easier to read though.

U70%
by U####:

The newest update makes the app and articles extremeky slow to load.

O70%
by O####:

Love it. Would love it more if it had a night mode.

U70%
by U####:

I was persuaded by the incredible staff of hockey writers across the whole sport, top to bottom. I'm not sure if this is the place to ask but I was wondering if there are plans or there is consideration for eSports coverage within The Athletic?

U70%
by U####:

Great content and the website is fantastic. The app is extremely buggy. Timeouts and failures to login through Facebook are the norm, not occasional. Inexcusable for a subscription-based sporting news site.

Y70%
by Y####:

This app was working until today. Now there is no feeds under My Feeds. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app did not work. Contacted support several hours ago but have not hearf anything.

R70%
by R####:

Best writers, best stories, great app performance and features. Well worth the subscription!

C70%
by C####:

The writers at The Athletic are Phenominal and have the free reigns to compose amazing columns without the deadline monotony that AP writers are up against.. Michael Russo is the best NHL beat writer, and he's here. For Wild Hockey fans, The Athletic is a Must Have.

U70%
by U####:

Love everything about TheAthletic. One thing I would love to see is a function that allows you to save articles that you want to read in the future.

U70%
by U####:

Love this app. Wish it had a read later feature for pop-up articles etc, it would be very helpful when links to other articles pop up in the article your reading.

U70%
by U####:

Content is good. App frequently hangs and has to be killed before content will load.

U70%
by U####:

Great stuff, one request is some sort of offline mode so that we can read even when there's no internet connection

U70%
by U####:

Great app! I can get articles sent straight to me from my favorite writers!

U70%
by U####:

Great App and content. Just wish we could remove the box scores from the main page.

U70%
by U####:

Best news quality out there. The app is second to none.

U70%

Worth the small fee

U70%
by U####:

Top-notch journalism via a solid app.

U70%
by U####:

The greatest app of all time.

U70%
by U####:

Great writing. Worth the subscription

U70%
by U####:

Push notifications are broken, the settings for them never stay and I have yet to receive a notification for a new column. Also patiently waiting till users are given the ability disable box scores in the feed. I'm coming here for the articles, not score updates. I'll stick to browsing with Chrome

G70%
by G####:

Amazing These guys have finally figured it out Top notch quality content! Amazing Amazing Amazing #1 They have stories that are actually interesting to read and not just the same stories that all the other sports stations and newspapers cover. No regurgitation here. Original content.

U70%
by U####:

Really enjoy the writers but the app is terrible. On my Nexus 6 it keeps kicking me out and telling me I don't have a subscription (which I do). I attempt to log back in but I get an endless loop that never loads. I try to reset my password and the link will not work and said invalid. I paid to read articles I can no longer read because your app won't let me in. This has happened weekly. Fix it and I'll happily give you 5 stars and more money.

M70%
by M####:

Great app. Articles worth every penny. I keep having to kill the app in order to properly reload it upon return to it.

X70%
by X####:

Still waiting for dark theme while reading articles. Also signing in on PC in ìncognito is hard to find.

U70%
by U####:

Needs a dark mode for articles but is otherwise solid.

U70%
by U####:

Quality sports writing. If you want score updates, hit ESPN. But if you want good writing with in depth coverage, this is the place.

Z70%
by Z####:

For the NHL, it is host to most of the best beat writers. For good content sometimes you have to pay for it.

U70%
by U####:

Best sports app...period.

J70%
by J####:

Coverage of local (Calgary) teams is a joke. Zero Stampeder coverage (best team in CFL) and spotty, at best, flames coverage.
