The Athletic's RSS feed is https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/rss/news/, and Sky Sports' football feed is https://www.skysports.com/rss/11095. Below are 34 RSS feeds for sports news, one section per site, from The Athletic and Sky Sports to CBS Sports, Bleacher Report and the Formula 1 and MLB feeds. ESPN's servers turned most of our requests away, so for ESPN we list feeds that work instead. We checked every feed on October 7, 2026.
What is The Athletic RSS feed URL?
It's https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/rss/news/, with the latest 100 headlines from every sport. Each item has the headline, a one-line summary and a link to the story. 103 Feeder users follow it, counting the older addresses https://theathletic.com/rss-feed/ and https://theathletic.com/feeds/rss/news/, which both forward here.
Leagues have feeds of their own: put the league's name after /athletic/rss/. Team feeds work the same way, such as the Arsenal feed below. The Athletic calls soccer "football" in its addresses, so its Soccer feed ends in /rss/football/. Older addresses such as https://theathletic.com/nba/?rss forward to the new ones.

Each Sky Sports section has a number, and its feed is https://www.skysports.com/rss/ followed by that number. Sky Sports has no page that lists them (skysports.com/rss answers "not found"), so these are the ones we tested:

|---|---|---|
| Sky Sports: all sports | The latest 20 stories from every sport. | https://www.skysports.com/rss/12040 |
| Sky Sports: Football | The latest 20 football stories. | https://www.skysports.com/rss/11095 |

BBC Sport RSS feeds
The BBC Sport football RSS feed URL is https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/sport/football/rss.xml, and the feed for all of BBC Sport is https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/sport/rss.xml. 139 Feeder users follow the football feed and 87 follow the main one, counting older addresses that lead to the same feeds. The BBC has many more sport feeds, from the Premier League and the Champions League to cricket and Formula 1. Our BBC RSS feeds page lists them. For football from a UK newspaper, The Guardian has sport and football feeds too: see Guardian RSS feeds.
Does ESPN have an RSS feed?
ESPN has feeds at addresses such as https://www.espn.com/espn/rss/news for top headlines and https://www.espn.com/espn/rss/soccer/news for soccer. But ESPN's servers turned away most of our requests on October 7, 2026, including those from Feeder's crawler. In Feeder, the top headlines feed hasn't had a new story since April 22, 2026, and 485 Feeder users follow it at one of its addresses.
Until that changes, these feeds bring you ESPN's stories:
| Feed | What you get | Feed URL |
|---|---|---|
| ESPN, through Google News | Stories from espn.com in the past 7 days. | https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=when:7d+site:espn.com&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en |
| ESPN soccer, through Google News | Stories from ESPN's soccer section in the past 7 days. | https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=when:7d+site:espn.com/soccer&hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en |
| ESPNcricinfo | The latest 100 cricket stories from ESPNcricinfo. | https://www.cricinfo.com/rss/content/story/feeds/0.xml |
The two Google News feeds link to each story through Google News. Google News RSS feeds shows how to make a feed like this for any site or search.
CBS Sports RSS feeds
CBS Sports lists its feeds on its RSS page, cbssports.com/xml/rss. The main one is https://www.cbssports.com/rss/headlines/. Each feed had 36 headlines when we checked, with a short summary for each. The main feed leans on betting: 14 of its 36 stories were betting stories when we checked, so for one sport, use that sport's feed.
The older addresses under cbssports.com/partners/feeds/rss/ forward to these feeds, and 31 Feeder users follow one of them.
| Feed | What you get | Feed URL |
|---|---|---|
| CBS Sports: headlines | The latest 36 headlines from every sport. | https://www.cbssports.com/rss/headlines/ |

Bleacher Report RSS feed
Bleacher Report has one feed, https://feeds.bleacherreport.com/articles, the address its homepage names in its page code. It covers every sport. The old league and team feeds stopped (see below), and adding their tag_id to the new address returns the same stories. To follow one team, add a keyword rule to the main feed (Filter an RSS feed by keyword shows how), or follow the team's page with a custom feed.
| Feed | What you get | Feed URL |
|---|---|---|
| Bleacher Report | Stories from every sport, 582 of them when we checked. | https://feeds.bleacherreport.com/articles |
League RSS feeds: Formula 1, MLB, NFL and NBA
Formula 1's feed is https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/all.xml, with the latest 10 stories from formula1.com. Its items carry no date. 103 Feeder users follow it, counting three older addresses that forward here.
MLB's news feed is https://www.mlb.com/feeds/news/rss.xml. MLB.com turned away our test server, but Feeder's copy of the feed updates normally, with new stories on October 7, 2026. Feeder's copies of the team feeds, such as https://www.mlb.com/yankees/feeds/news/rss.xml, update normally too.
The NFL and the NBA have no working feeds at their old addresses: http://www.nfl.com/rss/rsslanding?searchString=home now opens NFL.com's homepage, and http://www.nba.com/rss/nba_rss.xml answers "not found". For NFL and NBA news, use the feeds from The Athletic and CBS Sports above, or the Yahoo Sports feeds on our Yahoo News RSS feeds page.

Which sports RSS feeds stopped working?
These addresses still have Feeder followers, but they no longer bring new stories. The working replacement is on this page.
- ESPN's top headlines feed (485 followers): see the ESPN section above.
- Bleacher Report's old feeds. The old main feed,
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/feed, and the league and team feeds, such ashttp://bleacherreport.com/articles/feed?tag_id=19for the NBA, answer "not found". Feeder has had no new story from them since February 11, 2025, and 76 Feeder users still follow one of them. Usehttps://feeds.bleacherreport.com/articles. - The Athletic's old soccer and team addresses.
https://theathletic.com/soccer/?rssnow opens a web page, and Feeder's copy stopped on May 13, 2024 (20 followers). Team addresses with /rss/team/, such ashttps://www.nytimes.com/athletic/rss/team/manchester-united/, answer "not found". Feeder's copies of these have had no new story since February 5, 2025 (11 followers). Use the Soccer feed or a team feed from The Athletic's table. - NFL.com, NBA.com and MLS. The old NFL.com and NBA.com feeds (8 and 12 followers) and
https://www.mlssoccer.com/rss.xml(6) no longer work. Feeder's newest stories from them are from 2017, 2019 and 2021.
