In February 2016, Non-Sport Update was acquired by Beckett Media.[1]

The first edition of Non-Sport Update was published in 1991.[2] The magazine was published quarterly through 1993. From 1994 through today, Non-Sport Update has been published bimonthly in January, March, May, July, September, and November.[3] The headquarters of the magazine is in Dallas, TX.
