Is it Premier League–only?
No — while the Premier League is a big focus, the magazine also covers major tournaments and other competitions that matter to fans. Our quiz and activity pages are among the most popular sections, as our audience loves to test themselves and their family members. Many features are interactive and regular sketch challenges see our email inboxes go crazy with hundreds and hundreds of reader drawings. Young readers can adorn their walls with our incredible poster designs of their favourite players, sharpen their tekkers and gaming skills, and laugh out loud at the best cartoons and funnies in the business.
