Sports Media Jobs

Sports media inside the teams: production, content, and comms

There are 142 open sports media roles across 64 organizations.

The sports media jobs on this page are the in-house ones - the production and communications staff employed by teams and leagues themselves, not by ESPN or a network. Every club now operates like a daily studio: broadcast engineering and control-room crews for the video board and streams, videographers and editors feeding social and web, photographers, motion designers, and the media relations staff who manage press access and messaging.

The titles you will see most are video producer and editor, broadcast or AV engineer, control room operator, photographer, motion graphics designer, and communications or media relations coordinator. Portfolios beat resumes everywhere on this track: a tight reel of short-form sports content, live-production credits from college athletics, or published clips will move you further than any degree line.

Two honest notes on the market. Control-room and broadcast-engineering skills are scarcer than editing skills and command better pay and stability. And communications is its own ladder - PR coordinators become directors of communications, a genuine leadership track in every front office. Game nights are work nights on all of these jobs; the people who last love the building more than the couch. Apply directly through each organization's careers page.
