Sports Press Photo

What Sports Press Photo does

Sports Press Photo operates a digital archive and licensing service for professional sports photography, distributing imagery from major global sporting competitions through an online storefront at sportspressphoto.com. The company's catalog covers football, tennis, cricket, athletics, gymnastics, handball, motorsport, and rugby, with recent and ongoing coverage of marquee events including the FIFA World Cup 2026, Wimbledon Championships 2026, and the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026.

The platform is built on the MomaPIX digital asset management system provided by MomaSOFT, which handles storage, cataloging, browsing, and transactional distribution of the photography archive. Functionally, the service allows customers to browse event-tagged galleries and license images via a self-serve e-commerce flow with cart and checkout functionality. The company does not publish pricing on its website and offers no native mobile applications or public APIs.

Sports Press Photo serves two identified customer segments: Sports Media & Publications (primary), which use the imagery for editorial and journalistic coverage, and Sports Organizations & Federations (secondary), which use it for official documentation and promotional purposes. The website exposes a Portuguese language option, suggesting a deliberate orientation toward Portuguese-speaking markets. The firm is privately held, has 51-100 employees, was founded in 2019, and discloses no funding, parent company, or management team in the available data.
