Why these sources
Selected for a reason
The list favors outlets with broad league coverage and active public feeds. Team-specific blogs were left out on purpose, since the right one depends entirely on who you support.

FAQ
Sports RSS questions
What is the best RSS feed for sports news?
ESPN and CBS Sports move fastest on scores and trades, BBC Sport carries the strongest football coverage, and SB Nation adds the fan perspective the wire services can't. Sports Illustrated rounds it out with features.
Do these feeds cover soccer as well as US sports?
Yes. BBC Sport treats football as the main event rather than a sidebar, and several of the US outlets carry MLS and international coverage alongside the big four leagues.
Can I build a sports section on my WordPress site from these feeds?
That's the intended use. Import the feeds you're permitted to display, then filter by keyword or category inside your RSS plugin to match your site's focus.
