    I used to (mid-2000s to 2020, basically) live on message boards and listen to sports radio every day; I basically lived and breathed college football. Nowadays it's pretty much just a curated list of sports writers I like on a sports-only twitter account followed by watching most of my teams' games + a handful of interesting games going on that day using YouTube TV. There's something about the pervasive, constant nature of content these days that seems to have taken a lot of the fun out of it for me.

    Here’s my current flow:

    1. ESPN app - mostly for the headlines across sports

    2. Tigernet - clemson specific / mostly football. Like the message boards.

    3. Instagram - great place to get lots of good news

    4. Maybe a google search - “when is x game?”

    5. YouTube for game recap / highlights / long form.

    6. Occasionally 247.

    7. FotMob for soccer

    I have a very cheap TV package that includes something like a dozen, maybe two dozen sports channels. That's where I mostly watch soccer, but very rarely these days. I watch no other sport, and I pay for all of those channels because they come together in a bundle

    I occasionally go on r/soccer purely for goal highlights

    I used to use sofascore to keep track of games, but I don't anymore since I rarely sit down to watch matches. When I do want to find out when a particular match is, I will search on google

    I do play premier league fantasy with a few buddies. We have our own league

    Also, I don't think hn is the place to do research about people and their sports-watching habits, since most people here won't watch any sports regularly. A better place would be to go to some communities related to a certain sport and interact with the people there to find out how they do things; but also, if you're not into sports yourself and know a particular sport in and out and the culture associated with it, it's probably not the best idea to do a startup about this

    Started playing fantasy football last year. Vastly improved my enjoyment of football, find myself following players and teams I wouldn’t care about before. I use my fantasy app for scores, news, etc.

    I watch RedZone, and created a multireddit for nfl, teams, fantasy, etc. for the rest + YouTube for highlights

    Whenever there's a big game of some kind (stanley cup, world cup), I hear about the results after the fact on reddit

    Curious why attending in person or otherwise watching the game is not among the considerations.

    F1TV and YouTube Live (esports).

    YouTube for recap highlight.

    Some random sites for soccer.

    I mostly discuss with my partner.

    Mostly F1tv app, and frankly ... various random streaming sites for motogp, soccer, cricket. Only really follow racing through the season other sports I'm just tuning in for semis/quarter/finals
