205 x 260 mm, 132 pages Nottingham, UK Quarterly First published in 2022 Editor-in-chief: Andy Afford Publisher: Kevin Whitchurch ‘Stories of Modern Sport’ A sports magazine that c overs a little bit of everything: from sailing, surfing and snooker, to rugby, racing (horse and motor) and rucksacks for rambling. With illustrations, interviews, essays and photography throughout, Pitch is perfect for the multi-sports lover. This latest edition for Autumn 2026 is ‘The American Football Issue’, exploring ‘the wonders of this now-global sport, without losing sight of what makes it great at home.’ Inside, reporter and drive-time radio host Brent Dougherty delves into the all-encompassing nature of college football, particularly in Southern states like Tennessee, where the game has become a ‘way of life’, and Phil Turner sits down with former professional footballer Brett Kern to discuss playing Wembley in 2018, and American football going down under. Elsewhere, a comprehensive Super Bowl guide delves into the halftime show, chips, dips, fly-pasts and the national anthem, and Paul Simpson follows the cultural reverberations of the game across politics and music. pitch-mag.co.uk Show more
