The series had aired on ESPN in some form since 1990, initially as a monthly newsmagazine hosted by Bob Ley, and later expanding into a weekly Sunday-morning program. In 2003, Outside the Lines added a weekday edition as part of ESPN's lineup of studio programs. In 2017, both The Sports Reporters and the Sunday edition of Outside the Lines were cancelled and replaced by a weekly edition of E:60 hosted by Ley and Jeremy Schaap, which would be produced by the OTL staff.
After Ley's retirement in June 2019, ESPN announced in October 2019 that the weekday edition of Outside the Lines would be cancelled and replaced by a new weekly edition on Saturday mornings outside the football season, hosted by Schaap. In February 2023, the weekly program was cancelled. The show's staff will continue to produce feature segments under the Outside the Lines branding for SportsCenter and ESPN.com.
