Referee has a paid circulation of more than 30,000 subscribers with a total monthly readership of over 80,000. Referee readers subscribe for an average of seven years.

Referee magazine is a benefit of the National Association of Sports Officials (NASO) and the National Association of Sports Officials – Organizations Network (NASO-ON) memberships.

National Association of Sports Officials
• More than 60% of Referee subscribers are sports officials who are also members of NASO.
• 100% of NFL and NBA officials are NASO members.
• Because NASO is a voluntary membership association with annual dues, NASO members show a heightened dedication to officiating and a greater willingness to pay for products and services.

National Association of Sports Officials-Organizations Network
NASO-ON was developed to help leaders of officiating organizations accomplish everyday association management tasks by providing educational resources and management tools.
