History

Barstool Sports is a sports media company founded as a sports betting newspaper in Boston by Dave Portnoy in 2003. Since its founding, the company has grown into a full-fledged online media outlet, hosting a blog and podcasts covering sports and pop culture. Barstool Sports was purchased by Penn Entertainment between 2020 and 2023. [2] Portnoy repurchased sole ownership of the company in August 2023. [3]

In July 2025, Barstool and Fox Sports announced a wide-ranging partnership, including appearances by Barstool personalities on Big Noon Kickoff and a morning show on FS1. [4] Wake Up Barstool was announced in late August, one week before its debut. [5] [6]
