People love sports for a number of different reasons. The competitive nature of two teams, or two individuals going at it, striving for glory, the sheer spectacle of it all. There’s the action itself, then there’s the hype, the razzmatazz of a massive sporting occasion. And on a cruder note, a great deal of people watch sports due to the athletes' stunning looks. For others, it’s just another added benefit. Well in today’s days and age, the sultry athletes aren’t the only people that make viewers sit up and take notice. Broadcasting networks have taken to doing something else, something else that adds to the occasion. Pretty much all the sporting shows, all the networks out there, have taken to employing sultry sportscasters, getting beautiful women on board to report on the action. It’s a good marketing ploy. What do most men absolutely love? Sports and beautiful women. Combining the two is the ultimate combination. If you’re into your sports, it’s fair to assume that you know your sportscasters.

There are some seriously beautiful sportscasters in the industry, those that are also extremely popular and that most people know about, the likes of Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson for example. They need no introduction. But what about some of the other sportscasting beauties out there? Go through this list and you might just find that you have a new favorite sportscaster by the end of it. These are 15 of the most attractive sportscasters in the industry that in all likelihood, you haven’t heard of. You’ll most certainly be glad you now know them.

15 LAURA ESPOSTO

Unless you’re Italian, chances are you haven’t heard of Laura. She’s wouldn’t be too familiar with an international audience. But she certainly should be, based on her looks and steamy physique alone. Getting into sportscasting was never Laura’s goal. She was actually in L.A. doing decently as a model. Italy had just won the soccer World Cup, and the UK began showing live Italian football on Sundays. They got Laura across to the other side of the pond to host and take up sportscasting duties. She received a tremendous amount of popularity during her time in the UK. Her sportscasting career took off, and she hasn’t looked back.

She’s now a sportscaster and host on Italian TV. Look at Laura and she’s what you’d expect an Italian beauty to be. She's beautiful, tall, tanned, has endlessly long legs and a steamy physique. If she wasn’t into sportscasting, no doubt she’d be making waves in the modeling industry right about now.

14 ALANNA RIZZO

Alanna Rizzo’s name is synonymous with that of baseball. She’s been involved with the sport on TV for a pretty long time and has tasted a decent amount of success. Alanna has won three Regional Emmy Awards, so she’s certainly got something about her, is talented and popular at what she does. Having read that, it seems inconceivable that Alanna isn’t one of the most popular sportscasters out there. But despite all of her accomplishments, she still wouldn’t feature on a list beside Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson for example.

More people might want to place her there now she’s been brought to your attention. She deserves to be, is one beautiful and talented individual. She’s currently a sportscaster for the Los Angeles Dodgers broadcast team on the regional sports network, SportsNet LA.

13 KIRSTY GALLACHER

The U.S boasts some of the hottest sportscasters on the planet. But across the pond, the UK has some steamy sportscasters of its own, none more so than Kirsty Gallacher. Kirsty comes from a sporting family, and it was inevitable that one day she’d be involved in sports in some capacity. It was also inevitable that she’d make a career out of being in front of the camera. Hers is a face that’s made for TV. After starting out trying to become a fashion journalist, she combined the two and became the sportscaster tons of people in the UK know and love. She knows her stuff, but let’s be honest, that’s not why she’s so popular.

Kirsty’s done a fair bit of modeling in her time and has one steamy physique. She’s fit, lean and muscular, yet curvaceous at the same time. Oh, and in case you hadn’t realized, she’s got the looks too. Kirsty really does possess the entire package.

12 JENNY DELL

Jenny Dell is a brunette bombshell if ever there was one. She’s undoubtedly one of the most beautiful faces on TV. It’s therefore pretty staggering that people don’t really talk about her with a greater level of fondness. Set your eyes on some of her steamy pics, and you’d certainly put her up there, her name beside the other top female sportscasters in the industry. The thing about Jenny Dell is that although she’s done steamy shoots, she doesn’t feel the need to strip down and bare all for the cameras. Perhaps that’s why she’s not as popular as some of the other female sportscasters. But she really doesn’t need to; her smile, her beauty, her amazing physique, are all evident when she poses for the cameras.

11 JAMIE ERDAHL

There are plenty of blonde bombshells in the sportscasting industry. A lot of them are experienced, are stunningly beautiful, and have been wowing viewers and fans for some time. It’s therefore hard for any newcomer to go through the ranks and join that group. That, one feels, is the trouble Jamie Erdahl is having at the moment. She’s one of the freshest faces in the sportscasting world, and no doubt in the coming years she’ll be right up there, but for the time being she’ll have to be content with her current role, working as an NFL reporter for CBS sports. The more she gets herself out there, the more her level of popularity will grow. If I did this list in a few years’ time, she certainly wouldn’t feature.

10 SHIBANI DANDEKAR

Instagram is always a good way to gauge just how popular a person is. Look at their follower count, and you can usually tell if someone’s a pretty bigtime celeb. Shibani Dandekar is about to hit the million mark on Instagram. That’s more than quite a few sportscasters on this list combined. You might therefore be thinking, why on earth is she on this list? Well, have you heard of her? Chances are, unless you’re a cricket fan or watch Indian TV, you have no clue who she is. Shibani was a sportscaster during India’s premier domestic cricket competition. Since then she’s branched out into acting, singing, hosting, and she’s continued modeling. Some of her modeling pictures are just ridiculously hot. Set your eyes on them and you won’t be surprised she’s got 900 odd thousand followers on social media.

9 LEEANN TWEEDEN

Leeann Tweeden is now in her mid-40s but can still compete with the best of them. A lot of the top sportscasters around the globe are in their 30s. But Leeann is a prime example that age is nothing but a number. She’s as hot, if not hotter, than a lot of sportscasters half her age. She’s got that blend of beauty, experience, maturity, and she still possesses a steamy physique. It’s a physique that made her famous, first as a fitness model, then when she gained national exposure, as a sportscaster. She’s worked for a number of the top broadcasting networks and is currently earning her corn working on the radio as a new anchor. That’s a shame because Leeann is a woman that needs to be in front of the camera. Perhaps that’s why she’s not as popular as she should be.

8 ALEX SCOTT

Alex Scott is a seriously busy woman. She’s a sportscaster and a fulltime athlete too. And she’s not one of these part-time athletes either. She a professional soccer player for England and Arsenal. At the age of 33, she’s already amassed 140 international appearances. In recent years she’s become something of a media personality too. She’s simultaneously been playing soccer and has been getting regular gigs as a pundit and sportscaster.

On top of all of this, Alex has started her own academy for youngster looking to get into the game. Her contributions to soccer have been recognized, and Alex has been awarded a British order of chivalry. On top of all of this, Alex is absolutely stunning, is one of the best looking soccer players around. She’s got it all and has made it work for herself.

7 GABBY LOGAN

I’m sticking on the British side of the pond now and moving onto Gabby Logan. Gabby’s name is synonymous with sports in the UK. Whenever there’s a big event, you can bet your bottom dollar that Gabby’s going to be the one in attendance taking on the sportscasting duties. Rugby, soccer and athletics – she sportscasts on all of those sports for BBC television. Due to Gabby’s popularity, she’s also become a media personality, is regularly seen on talk shows and quiz shows and whatnot. Hers is a face that’s made for TV, and British audiences never tire of seeing it. Gabby used to be an international gymnast, and still trains, still keeps in shape. She’s got beauty, has the physique, charm, wit, and an in-depth knowledge on a variety of sports. She’s every sports’ fans’ dream woman.

6 JIMENA SANCHEZ

Unless you watch your sports shows in Spanish, chances are you haven’t heard of Jimena Sanchez. You may not have heard of her, but you’ve probably seen her pictures somewhere on the internet. Is she recognizable? Jimena is probably the biggest name to have sprung up in the sportscasting industry over the last few years. Her sole aim is to gain popularity by posting seriously raunchy snaps on social media. She’s been doing just that, and her popularity’s skyrocketed. She’s a sportscaster on the Latin American version of Fox Sports, and obviously, she’s also a model. That’s what people care about, her modeling. She’s been labelled as being the mini Mexican version of Kim Kardashian. That just about says it all. Some – a lot of sports fans - would even rate her as being hotter than the steamy socialite.

5 APRIL ROSE

30-Year-old April Rose is someone who’s done a bit of this and a bit of that. She actually started out as a model. This progressed onto acting, and eventually she was picked up as a sportscaster. It normally happens the other way around, but April has made it work for herself, has enjoyed a decent career. She’s worked for Fox Sports and has contributed to various other shows. She gets really involved, writing snippets of the show in addition to hosting and sportscasting during certain segments. But April will always be known for being one of the world’s most attractive sportscasters. She’s actually been voted in numerous polls, as being one of the world’s hottest women. Set your eyes on her steamy Instagram page and you’d be hard pressed to disagree. She delights her followers by regularly posting seriously raunchy pics of herself. She’s still got it and takes delight in flaunting it.

4 ARCHANA VIJAYA

Archana Vijaya is a steamy sportscaster from India. India, despite being a pretty conservative nation, has taken to getting steamy sportscasters on board to host top sporting events. No event is bigger in India than cricket tournaments. When a massive match or series springs up, you can bet your bottom dollar that Archana will be in attendance in the midst of the action. Her presence on pitch, at the grounds, is something that an awful lot of people look forward to. Archana is sassy by nature, has this flirtatious attitude, and she’s absolutely stunning too. Away from her sportscasting duties, she’s a fashionista and model, has her own business ventures, and is reveling in the high life. Archana is without doubt one of the hottest women on the subcontinent, in the world for that matter.

3 LAUREN SHEHADI

Lauren Shehadi has been around in the industry now for over a decade. She’s built up plenty of experience and has enjoyed a solid career. She’s got her own fanbase but is certainly not among the most popular sportscasters around. She’s certainly among the hottest though. Lauren has put together a pretty extensive résumé. She’s worked for all the top sports broadcasting networks and is currently applying her trade with the MLB Network. Lauren possesses a great deal of natural beauty. She’s beautiful and has a decent physique. But it’s that smile, that bubbly, vibrant personality that endears her to a lot of people. All of this combined makes her one seriously attractive sportscaster. She’s 34 and is probably in the prime of her career. Lauren’s going strong and long may that continue.

2 CHARLOTTE JACKSON

This British sportscaster have been wowing audiences for over a decade. She started off doing some work for websites, the smaller channels, then got picked up by Sky Sports, the biggest sports broadcasting network in all the land, and it’s where she’s been ever since. The reason why Charlotte was picked up by Sky, is because she’s not only a great sportscaster, but she’s incredibly beautiful. She’s got the looks and the physique – a package that’s just perfect for TV.

Her level of popularity has been on an upwards curve ever since she started out in the industry, not just her sportscasting career, but her modeling career too. As her popularity’s increased, she’s posed in an increasing number of steamy shoots, and these have served to increase her fan following exponentially.

1 MARISOL GONZALEZ

There are quite a few Latin Americans ruling the roost in the sultry sportscaster’s stakes. Jimena Sanchez, you’ve got to say is by far and away the most popular Mexican sportscaster. Marisol Gonzalez isn’t too far behind. I could have included any number of names from Mexico on this list, but I’ve gone for Marisol. She’s one of the hottest, and is mightily popular too, with one million followers on Instagram. But she’s not that well known to a worldwide audience. Let’s try and change that. Marisol is a beauty pageant title holder, an actress, sportscaster, and just all-round TV personality.

She’s beautiful and has an amazing physique, and over the years we’ve seen plenty of it. Due to her beauty pageant days, we know Marisol isn’t shy about strutting her stuff. Thankfully for her fans, she never tires of doing so, frequently poses in seriously steamy shoots.
