The sports podcast genre originated in the 2000s, as podcasts in general began to gain a following during the decade. In the mid-to-late 2010s, professional athletes began to host their own podcasts, often covering the sports they played and leagues they were involved in. Sometimes, these player-hosts were still active upon the launch of their podcasts. Professional athlete-hosted podcasts began to become more widespread in the 2020s.
