REAL SPORTS magazine began publishing in 1998 with the mission to change mainstream media coverage of women's sports, with a particular focus on team sports at the professional, collegiate and national team levels. The magazine quickly grew from a quarterly publication with 50,000 copies circulated to bi-monthly publication printing more than 150,000 copies per issue. REAL SPORTS magazine was soon referred to as The Authority in Women's Sports.![]()
However, since the magazine's launch, seven women's professional leagues have gone out of business (along with four competing women's sports magazines). The lack of advertiser and reader interest in building a market for women's sports created an environment whereby REAL SPORTS had to change in order to stay viable.
Today, the company offers memberships into TEAM REAL SPORTS, providing a platform for growing a base of fans interested in women's sports. REAL SPORTS looks forward to the day when re-launching the print version of the magazine makes economic sense. If you like to purchase a previous issue, please select from the items below.
