Minute Media has obtained the publishing rights for Sports Illustrated from owner Authentic Brands Group (ABG) after a tumultuous few months for the legacy sports publication. 

The home of The Players’ Tribune, FanSided, 90min, and other publications, Minute Media will oversee all digital and print editorial operations across the Sports Illustrated portfolio, entering into a long-term partnership with ABG. 

According to the New York Times, which first reported the licensing deal on Monday, the partnership will stretch for 10 years with an option to extend for up to 30 years total.
