Welcome to ESPN.co.uk

Posted by Alex Livie on 19/01/2010

Welcome to ESPN.co.uk, the new multi-sport website for the UK sports fan.

When we started planning ESPN.co.uk our primary aim was to serve you with content that’s relevant, entertaining and timely. You can expect an emphasis on news coverage, but we’ll also bring you interviews and regular features, including On This Day, Ask Steven and Paper Round.

ESPN.co.uk aims to complement readers’ existing use of our specialist sites (ESPNcricinfo, ESPNscrum, ESPNsoccernet and ESPNF1) and we’ll often hand off to them for more in-depth analysis of the big stories affecting these sports to ensure you have the news and scores you need, when you need them, as well as covering the broader UK sports scene.

Video will also be at the heart of what we do. We will feature analysis and features from ESPN’s UK line-up of presenters and pundits, including Ray Stubbs, Kevin Keegan and Mark Chapman, as well as ESPN television programmes such as Talk Of The Terrace, Between The Lines and Press Pass . You’ll also be able to access our comprehensive range of podcasts.

In the coming weeks we will continue to develop the site, with more statistics and standings, as well as some new features and blogs. It will also include fantasy and games, improved search and social media applications to bring you a fully-rounded, UK centric, sports experience.

We hope you enjoy the site, and do send us feedback and suggestions, or head over to our Facebook page.

The launch of ESPN.co.uk is brought to you in association with Mercedes-Benz.

Like the new website easy to navigate as is the f1, scrum and cricinfo site. Would like to see the Espn america website to be redesigned in line with the style you are using at this time. All I can say is keep up the good work guys, your doing a fantastic job!

Good to see a ESPN.co.uk site, and I agree that a redesigned ESPN America site would be very welcome as well.

Good to see the new improved website for ESPN. I would like to see ESPN acquire the rights to the new 2010 NRL season

Considering you show so much NHL, where is it on the new website?? It's not even mentioned under More Sports.

Our budget has never allowed us to subscribe to any sports channel, but the access to ESPN on the 'free freeview weekend' has been superb. Everything you could ever want for sports fans. The football coverage has been excellent, from morning 'til night. Good stuff guys.

Please can you update the soccernet website, it's so early 2000s in its layout and design scheme even though the content is top notch.
