Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers understand how sport works: a precise explanation of a rule, role, tactic or format, written for people who may be new to the subject.

What makes a good pitch

Send a focused idea with a working title, the question it answers, the intended category and a short explanation of the piece’s main point. Strong pitches define their terms, distinguish general principles from competition-specific details and give readers a clear reason to keep watching.

What we are looking for

We favour evergreen explanations that can be useful without current results, unsupported statistics or first-hand testing. Avoid claims that require readers to make safety-critical decisions, and flag any rule or format that varies by competition.

How to send a proposal

Send proposals through the Contact page and select the editorial question option. A pitch is a proposal, not a guarantee of publication; please do not send a finished article unless it has been requested.
