Sports reporters earn a wide variety of salaries, depending mostly on the company they work for and the sports events they cover. For example, a reporter covering a small soccer league for a local radio station makes considerably less than a reporter covering NFL games for a national TV network.
As of February 2020, the average salary for sports reporters ranges from $35,000 to $46,000. Of course, the salary is much higher for experienced reporters covering major sports leagues and events.
On the other end of the spectrum, local sports reporters working for small companies make less than the average salary. Some sports reporters even have to take additional jobs to make a living.
