What is Breaking Belize News?
Breaking Belize News is an online news service published at breakingbelizenews.com. Its about page describes it as “a fully Belizean-owned news and information service dedicated to serving ALL Belizeans” and states that it has correspondents in Toledo, Corozal, Orange Walk, Cayo and the capital, Belmopan.[1] The about page names no owning company, no founder and no editor, so ownership is given here only as the outlet's own description.
The page lists its general coverage as politics, business, entertainment, environment, technology, popular media, lifestyle and culture, together with breaking news from Belize and abroad. Sport has its own category on the site.[1][2]
What does Breaking Belize News cover?
Domestic football. The site reports the Premier League of Belize round by round. On 13 December 2025 it reported that Verdes FC won the 2025–2026 Opening Championship, beating Progresso FC 1–0 in the second leg of the final in Benque Viejo, and recorded the cautions and dismissals of that match in detail.[4]
Cycling. On 16 April 2025 it published a list of winners of the Holy Saturday Cross Country Cycling Classic, which it dates to 1928; the list opens with Elston Kerr in 1928 and, as published, ends with Luis López of Honduras in 2024.[5]
National teams and federations. On 17 July 2026 it reported that Belize's senior men's volleyball team beat Costa Rica 3–1 in San José to win the III AFECAVOL Men's Final Four Championship.[3] On 24 July 2025 it reported that the Belize Baseball Softball Federation had opened tryouts for a national softball team ahead of the 2025 Central American Games in Guatemala.[7]
Sports administration. On 21 January 2026 it reported the National Sports Council's agreements with the Football Federation of Belize, for a FIFA-certified synthetic pitch at the Isidoro Beaton Stadium in Belmopan, and with the Belize Basketball Federation, for the joint use of six courts.[6]
International football. As retrieved on 26 September 2026, the sports category's newest item, of 24 August 2026, concerned Belizean cyclists at a Caribbean event; most of its July 2026 items concerned the FIFA World Cup, whose final was played on 19 July 2026.[2]
How large is Breaking Belize News's audience?
No audited television, readership or web-audience measurement for Belize was retrieved, so no independent figure for this site can be given.
The site's about page makes two claims about itself: “An average of 3 million readers per year depend upon Breakingbelizenews.com for daily stories that pair local news with worldwide headlines”, and that “we get over 20 million page views annually.” Neither figure names a measurement source or a period, and both are the outlet's own.[1]
Since when has Breaking Belize News existed?
The outlet's own about page gives no founding date, and no other source retrieved gives one. The footer of an article of April 2025 carries the line “© 2025, BreakingBelizeNews.com”, which dates that page, not the outlet.[5]
The dated items cited on this page run from July 2025 to July 2026.[7][3]
Why does Breaking Belize News matter in Belize's sport?
Its sports category reports the top football division, national-team results in volleyball, the national softball federation's selections, the National Sports Council's facility agreements, and the country's cycling classic, for which it published a list of winners going back to 1928.[4][3][7][6][5]
Several of those reports carry dates and scores that could not be matched against the organising bodies' own records, which were not retrievable; its account of the volleyball title of July 2026 is the only one retrieved. Its readership figures are its own and unaudited.[3][1]
