Bluesky Starter Packs for Sports Fans

Pabio November 15, 2024

You may have noticed that Bluesky, its rival on X/Twitter, started to gain some serious momentum last week. More than 1 million subscribers have registered on the social network since November 5 as more and more users seem ready to leave X.

Still, this decision can seem daunting, especially for many sports fans who have built lists and feeds specifically for their interests. The prospect of starting over completely is enough to keep you on X. But it shouldn’t! Bluesky has rolled out a feature called “Starter Packs” and it’s exactly what it sounds like: packs of curated accounts to follow based on a specific interest.

Want to find your favorite NFL accounts right away? There is a starter pack for this. Worried it’s impossible to keep up with your college football friends? Don’t be, there is a starter pack. The same goes for almost every sport.

We’ve compiled 9 essential starter packs below to help you get started.
