The club operates a multi-vertical sports organization spanning a men's senior team competing in TFF 1.

The club owns and operates two major physical assets: the Prof. Dr. Fethi Heper Stadium (34,930-seat football-specific venue built in 2016, with 54 VIP boxes, 1,623 away supporter seats, and substantial parking) and the Vali Hanefi Demirkol Training Complex (approximately 4.2 acres with 3 training pitches, fitness gym, medical units, and dining facilities). A new youth academy building is under construction by the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

The club's revenue model is primarily commercial and fan-driven, with no disclosed financial figures. Revenue streams include matchday and season ticket sales (kombine bilet) through Passo.com.tr, Espark AVM, and the training facility; main sponsorship from ETi (Turkish confectionery company) continuing into 2026-2027; health sponsorship from Özel Anadolu Hastanesi covering team medical services; kit supply and merchandise through a second-season adidas partnership distributed via Korayspor's e-commerce (crsspor.com) and physical retail; and a DenizBank payment partnership offering 5-installment ticket purchases. The club is governed as a member-based democratic association (dernek) with a Board of Directors elected by congress members, currently led by President Ulaş Entok (elected June 2024, re-elected June 2025).

Eskişehirspor maintains an active community engagement and social responsibility program, including ESAG (Eskişehirspor Disaster Volunteers) and the 'Güvenle Oyna (Play Safe)' child protection initiative co-developed with Toy Gençlik Derneği and funded by the European Union and UNICEF Turkey through the ACAR Project. The club reached finalist status at the European Mobility Week Mobility Action Award as the first Turkish football club to do so, reflecting its sustainability positioning. Marketing and fan engagement are conducted through the official website (eskisehirspor.org.tr), social media channels (X, Facebook, Instagram), and a digital newsletter (e-gazete).
