UNTOLD AND UNSUNG

Off-Field is a sports storytelling platform spanning audio, digital, and print. We tell timeless tales about niche subcultures, hidden heroes, and uncharted communities, exploring the diverse sporting landscapes beyond the familiar. We believe some of the most powerful journalism and original storytelling can be found in the margins: the diverse landscapes beyond the familiar where curiosity, creativity, and culture meet.
OUR MISSION
Off-Field exists to champion unsung communities, amplify diverse voices, and connect audiences through untold narratives. We shine a light on the corners of sport often ignored by mainstream media, revealing its deeper impact on people, places, and society. We value the unconventional over the cliched, compelling over quick, and - as proud adherents of the slow journalism movement - believe that thoughtful, original storytelling is the much-needed antidote to digital clickbait and AI churnalism.

OUR TEAM
Off-Field is led by Editor Alexis James and Creative Director Matt Walker, supported by an elite band of freelancers and industry specialists. We aim to create work that goes beyond the expected and challenges convention, to prove that premium storytelling isn't the preserve of publishing behemoths.

With that in mind, we want to be a beacon for independent publishing and boost the writers, artists, and photographers that form a part of it. Across print, audio, and digital, we’re committed to uncovering and sharing the stories that matter, celebrating sport’s cultural and human impact, and inspiring the next generation of storytellers.
