It is considered one of the top sports websites, along with ESPN.com. It provides coverage of the National Football League, Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, and many other professional sports leagues. It also features many on-line columnists such as Gregg Doyel, Dennis Dodd and Ray Ratto. Veteran Sportscaster Lesley Visser also writes a column for cbssports.com. It operates as a unit of CBS Interactive and is considered the online presence of CBS Sports.

On August 22, 2007, CBS SportsLine.com changed its name to CBSSports.com to better unify the CBS Sports brand across its television, online and mobile platforms.

On January 15, 2008, the website and message boards were updated, including blogs for registered members, and the post rating system has been revamped.

One of the special features of CBSSports.com is the member profile feature, which allows registered users to easily interact with one another.

Sky Sports is the dominant subscription television sports brand in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It has played a major role in the increased commercialisation of British sport since 1990, sometimes playing a large role in inducing organisational changes in the sports it broadcasts, most notably when it encouraged the Premier League to break away from the Football League in 1992.

Sky Sports 1, 2, 3, and Xtra are available as a premium package on top of the basic Sky package. These channels are also available as premium on nearly every satellite, cable and IPTV broadcasting system in the UK and Ireland. Unlike the other channels, Sky Sports News is provided as part of basic packages and also broadcasts on Freeview. Sky Sports is perhaps best known for its football coverage, due to this it suffers a loss of viewers in the summer when no football is played.
