How this endpoint behaves
Returns the public Sporting News US sport, league and topic feeds accepted by /api/v1/sportingnews/headlines. The 44 values were live-verified on 2026-09-25: every one returned a full page of 20 stories with a story published on or after 2026-06-01. They are: baseball, basketball, boxing, bundesliga, champions-league, club-world-cup, college, cricket, culture, darts, fantasy, football, formula-1, golf, high-school, horse-racing, la-liga, liga-mx, mlb, mls, mma, nascar, nba, nba-draft, ncaa, ncaa-basketball, ncaa-football, nfl, nfl-draft, nhl, olympics, premier-league, sec, serie-a, soccer, softball, tennis, tickets, tsn, ufc, watch, wnba, womens-college-basketball, wwe.
Each section has a slug, a display name and the feed url. Off-season leagues that still had recent stories (for example club-world-cup, horse-racing, softball, olympics) are listed and may return older items. Team feeds (for example dallas-cowboys) exist on the site but are an open-ended tag space and are not listed. Only the US edition is covered.
