Methodology. Through a comparative case study, this article analyses the current situation and evolution of three media (ElDesmarque, Panenka, and 2Playbook) in six areas: value proposition, capabilities, positioning, market, revenue model, and mission. Results and discussion. The three cases have a well-defined value proposition that differentiates them from their competitors. This proposal is based on a series of operational capabilities and competitive resources that generate competitive advantages that are difficult to imitate. Conclusion. Business model innovation (BMI) through dynamic capabilities (exploration, exploitation, and reconfiguration) is a key strategy to guarantee a company’s sustainability in the sports journalism sector.
