Sport, from pro down to College level, is massive in the US. As a result, there is no shortage of choice when it comes to choosing your sport content provider.

Whether it be sports websites created by huge corporations such as CBS, or smaller, more independent blogs, you can find a variety of content for your chosen sport. American Football, Baseball, Ice Hockey, Basketball or Soccer, there is something for everyone online and we picked out the best sports website available for US sports fans.

Yahoo Sports

Yahoo's search engine days may be all but behind them, but their position as a provider of great sports content continues to strengthen.

Covering a huge range sports, the site brings together a good combination of the usual breaking news, headlines, previews and featured articles – alongside the latest scores and results from your chosen sports.

Yahoo is also a great location for everyone's favourite procrastination tool, fantasy leagues. Covering everything from football and baseball to hockey and golf, Yahoo is a great option for setting up you and your friend's fantasy league.

Finally, Yahoo allows you to setup personalised notifications to keep you up to date with the teams and competitions you care about the most.

ESPN

Broadcast giant ESPN also provide a solid online offering for fans of our most popular sports. With extensive coverage of the NFL, NBA, MLB and MLS, ESPN.com differs from Yahoo in it's more team centric outlook. Select your competition, and you can quickly access sections of the site dedicate to your favourite team.

ESPN's homepage also features a couple of constantly updating feeds. Across the top, you'll find a rundown of the latest results from the US' biggest sporting competitions, whilst down the right you'll find a constantly updating source of social updates from ESPN's multi-sport channels.

Given ESPN's roots in video and audio media, you can also find TV listings, radio broadcasts and weekly podcasts.

CBS Sports

Given it's similarity in remit, CBS does share a number of similarities with ESPN in what it provides online. Coverage of major US sports is plentiful, and you can find all the usual high quality articles and videos.

Where CBS does surge ahead of it's rivals is on college sports. NCAA football and basketball are given just as much of the spotlight as the elite versions of their sports.

The might of the CBS network is on display in their website. TV and radio coverage are in abundance if you're a subscriber to their TV offering, and there are plenty of free podcasts and other weekly sports shows even if you aren't.

Create a login and select your favourite teams to form a stream of content that only includes the sports, competitions and teams you're interested in.

Again, the NFL, NBA and MLB feature prominently, but Bleacher Report is also a great website for alternative sports news. Thanks to their mass of online contributors, BR has a significant body of content that covers everything from in depth analysis to off-beat funnies of less-followed sports such as Lacrosse, cricket and even eSports.

Aligning with BR's modern take on short, snappy viral sports content, the ‘trending’ section of the website is a great way to keep up with all the breaking sports virals across social media.
