What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for passionate writers who don’t just love sports sims—you love sports. You follow the games, you know the stats, and you can talk about Ultimate Team modes as easily as you can break down a new Madden patch.

  • Ultimate Team game modes
  • Fantasy Sports

What You’ll Do

  • Cover a variety of sports games and topics under your assigned content role (Guides/News/Features/Opinions/Lists)
  • Update evergreen content to ensure accuracy and discoverability
  • Submit clean, publish-ready copy
  • Meet tight deadlines and react quickly to trending topics
  • Pitch original ideas informed by your deep knowledge of the game and the sports world

We’re Looking for Writers Who:

  • Are experts in both sports and sports gaming
  • Can confidently write one or more of the following: GuidesNewsFeaturesOpinions, Lists
    • (You don’t have to do it all—just let us know where you shine!)
  • Are fluent in English with excellent grammar
  • Have experience with SEO, WordPress, Trello, and Google Trends (bonus)
  • Can provide 1–3 relevant writing samples on a sports game you know well

Pay Expectations

  • All roles have the opportunity to transition into a full-time position
