This study aims to analyze the differences in the characteristic of feature sport news in ten categories given. A descriptive qualitative research method were implemented with three primary data namely documentation, interview and observation. Of 57 feature sport news, before (August 4, 2019 - November 29, 2019) and during the pandemic (February 29, 2020 - May 29, 2020) were analyzed. The results of this study shows that there is limited difference in quality but a high difference of quantity in feature sport news before and during pandemic. This difference is due to the decrease of sports event during pandemic which result on minimum hard news. Thus, the journalist fill the gap on sports rubric by writing more feature news.
