SportsCenter is a sports news television show shown every day on ESPN since the network was founded in 1979. SportsCenter aired its 25,000th episode on August 25, 2002, and its 20,000th airing coincidentally aired on the same day David Wells pitched his perfect game for the New York Yankees against the Minnesota Twins: May 17, 1998.

Originally a once a day show, SportsCenter is now shown up to six times a day, showing the day's scores and highlights from major sporting events.

SportsCenter news anchors include Dan Patrick, Stuart Scott, and Linda Cohn. In the past, it also included among others, Robin Roberts, Keith Olbermann, Charlie Steiner, Rich Eisen, and the late Tom Mees, who died during a swimming accident in 1997. Chris Berman, who has been with the network since October 1979, occasionally makes appearances on the program.
