Are you visiting hundreds of our pages a week? Do you want the fastest possible experience on the Sports Reference sites?

Sports Reference Ad-Free will dramatically speed up your surfing experience on our sites. We'll remove the ads and other assorted widgets (like buttons, etc) at the source, so your pages will load as quickly as possible. Even when we serve you ads or widgets, we try to make each load as fast as we possibly can, but we all know that ads can be slow at times and unfortunately there is only so much Sports Reference can make our ad partners do to mitigate this.

Since we depend on ads to pay our bills, we can't do this for free, but for $20 a year (or more, if you want to support our endeavor), you can browse the entire family of sites ad-free for a full year.

This will be better than using an ad blocker. Ad blockers use cpu resources, they still download some of the content they then block, and--we'll be frank--they keep money from us that could be used for investing in the site and compensating us for service we provide. Also, isn't paying us for our service better for your psyche than carrying around even the tiniest amount of guilt?

Faster load times, a cleaner look, and a nice warm feeling inside - what more could you want?
