Write for us

Prime Sports Insider welcomes clear, original pitches that help readers understand sport. We are interested in explanations of rules, tactics, formats, equipment and match patterns, especially when a subject can be made useful without assuming specialist knowledge.

What to pitch

Propose one focused subject and explain the reader's likely question. A strong idea might unpack a confusing rule, compare two ways a format changes play, explain the purpose of a piece of equipment, or give viewers a fresh lens for following a match. We favour evergreen subjects that remain useful beyond one result or news cycle.

What makes a good proposal

Send a working headline, a short summary of the main idea, the intended reader and the sport or format involved. Note any specialist sources or rule references the piece would need. Keep the proposed scope manageable, distinguish fact from interpretation, and avoid claims that depend on personal access or unverified expertise.

How to send it

Send proposals through the Contact page and choose the editorial enquiry option. Please pitch the idea rather than sending a completed article unless requested. A proposal is not a guarantee of publication, and we may discuss changes to focus, structure or terminology.

Our point of view

The score is only part of the story

Knowing what to watch makes a match richer. We explain the rules and decisions without assuming you already know the jargon.
