Market position
ALLCITY positions itself between national sports media outlets, which emphasize national coverage, and traditional local/regional outlets, offering deeper team-specific, interactive and community-oriented coverage. It has stated that its Denver, Phoenix, Philadelphia and Chicago outlets are cash flow positive or approaching it, and has expanded into large sports markets.
Hyperlocal, team-specific daily coverage combined with community building (meetups, watch parties, group outings), city-specific merchandise rather than generic team products, and an advertising toolkit combining local credibility with national scale and attribution tracking.
Go-to-market
ALLCITY enters a market by launching a city-branded network and recruiting well-known local and national sports personalities to draw their existing audiences; the Dallas (DLLS) launch featured NBA insider Marc Stein and hires including Mavericks writer Tim Cato from The Athletic, Bobby Karalla from Mavs.com and radio hosts Kevin Gray and Jeff Cavanaugh, and opened with eight pre-sold advertising partners. Distribution runs across YouTube, podcast platforms, social and newsletters, extended by a partnership with broadcaster TEGNA for content promotion and TV distribution in overlapping markets, and by merchandising, events and membership offerings for fans.
Two audiences: diehard local sports fans in the cities it serves (Denver, Phoenix, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas), and advertisers/brands seeking local trust with national reach across sports fan audiences.
Geography
United States; headquartered/based in Denver, Colorado, with local networks in Denver, Phoenix, Chicago, Philadelphia and Dallas, plus a partnership with Kansas City's KCSN.
History
ALLCITY was launched initially in Denver, Chicago and Phoenix, and by early 2022 was raising capital from venture investors including Matchstick Ventures Fund III, whose partners knew the founders through the Colorado startup ecosystem. It later launched a national network and added Philadelphia, and in August 2024 announced a Series B round alongside its fifth market, Dallas (DLLS). Programming and partnership expansion continued through 2026 with new shows, an Eagles tailgate experience and a partnership with Kansas City's KCSN.
