ESPN.com (www.espn.go.com) is the website companion to the ESPN family of sports radio and television channels. It contains sports statistics and stories, video and radio feeds of live sporting events or highlight and analysis shows, and fantasy sports leagues where you can assemble virtual teams and compete to win prizes.
How does ESPN.com work? Top 5 ESPN.com features
1. Crunch the numbers with scores, stats, and standings
Whether you're just looking for the outcome of last night's match or are tracking the performance of your favourite teams and athletes, ESPN.com has you covered. From box scores to division standings, league leaders to individual player numbers, you can find the essential numbers behind the games on ESPN.com.
2. Expert analysis from journalists and other insiders
Since numbers don't always tell the whole story, ESPN.com also has the news that happens when athletes aren't on the playing field. Who's heating up, and who's cooling down? Who's in the market for some new talent? How long will that injury keep your favourite athlete sidelined? Which athletes or teams are getting a change in management? ESPN.com has the answers for you, brought to you by people who have their fingers on the collective pulse of the sports world.
3. Get game stories in brief with recaps, highlights, and athlete reactions
Get the choicest clips and sound bites from the sports and athletes that you follow. Watch recaps and highlights from games and events that you missed, or just watch them again if you couldn't believe what you saw the first time! Plus, get interviews of athletes and coaches inside the locker room for their commentary on how their latest match went, or how they see the exploits of their team as a whole.
4. Watch with WatchESPN or listen with ESPN Audio and never miss the action
Can't get to a TV or radio to watch or listen to your favourite athlete or team's next match? Don't sweat it! Stay tuned into the sports that you follow on the go with WatchESPN or ESPN Audio.
