DICK’S Sporting Goods is no longer just a sporting goods retailer.

After acquiring Foot Locker, the company expects to generate roughly $22.1 billion to $22.4 billion of sales in 2026. Its wider ecosystem now includes DICK’S, Foot Locker, Golf Galaxy, House of Sport, GameChanger, around 30 million ScoreCard members, proprietary brands, a retail media business, DSG Ventures and a growing position in youth sports through Unrivaled.

The interesting part is how these businesses can work together.

A young athlete can play in an Unrivaled event, follow the games on GameChanger, buy equipment and apparel from DICK’S, and stay connected through ScoreCard. Around this core relationship, House of Sport adds in person experiences, DICK’S own brands improve margins, DSG Ventures adds investment exposure, and Foot Locker extends the business into sneakers and international markets.

The core retail business remains the engine. DICK’S expects around $14.6 billion of sales and $1.64 billion of segment profit from its original business in 2026, while Foot Locker is expected to contribute roughly $7.65 billion of sales but only around $130 million of segment profit at the midpoint.

This makes the next phase much bigger than selling more sporting goods.
