FanSided operates a large network of fan-focused digital sites spanning sports, entertainment and lifestyle. It brings together more than 300 communities where editorial voices deeply engaged with their fandoms produce specialized, team- or genre-specific content. The venture began as a family business in Chicago, founded by two brothers who sought a distinctive take on coverage of the Kansas City Chiefs. In the spectator sports space, FanSided acts as a hub for fans seeking in-depth, cross-vertical coverage across sports and related entertainment topics. The network relies on contributors who are fans themselves and focus on their specific topics, providing knowledgeable perspectives grounded in their communities. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the company has grown into a sizable operation built around a broad suite of fan communities.
