These facilities support Academy’s store network and direct-to-customer fulfillment operations.
Each Academy Sports + Outdoors store maintains its own street address, phone number, hours, and local management team.
Customers should contact the specific store directly for questions involving product availability, store pickup, local returns, store services, or a recent shopping experience.
Customers who have a complaint involving an Academy purchase, online order, employee interaction, return, refund, product, delivery, pickup order, credit-card issue, promotion, gift card, or store experience should gather relevant information before contacting the company. Keep your receipt, order number, store location, purchase date, photographs when appropriate, and copies of previous conversations or emails. Providing complete information can make it easier for Academy to identify the transaction and investigate what happened.
If the complaint involves an in-store purchase or experience, begin by contacting the Academy Sports + Outdoors location where the issue occurred and ask to speak with the store manager. Explain the problem clearly and provide the purchase date, receipt information, product details, and any other relevant facts. Store management may be able to resolve issues involving returns, refunds, pricing, damaged merchandise, pickup orders, or employee interactions without further escalation. Clearly explain the resolution you are requesting and allow the manager an opportunity to review the situation. Keep a record of the manager’s name and the date of the conversation.
If the local store cannot resolve the problem, call Academy Customer Service at 1-888-922-2336. Explain what happened, identify the store involved when applicable, and provide your order number, receipt information, product details, and previous attempts to resolve the issue. Tell the Customer Service representative what part of the complaint remains unresolved and what outcome you are requesting. Ask whether a case number, reference number, or other follow-up information can be provided. Keep notes of the representative’s name, date of contact, and any instructions provided during the conversation.
Customers can also email Academy Customer Service at customerservice@academy.com or use the company’s online customer-support tools. A written complaint is particularly useful when an issue requires a detailed timeline, multiple order numbers, photographs, or other supporting information. Include your name, contact information, store location or online order number, purchase date, and a concise explanation of the problem. Mention previous conversations with store management or Customer Service so the company understands what has already been attempted. Keep a copy of the email or online submission and any response you receive.
For a serious or unresolved matter, customers may send written correspondence to Academy Sports and Outdoors, Inc., 1800 North Mason Road, Katy, TX 77449, United States. Include your full name, contact details, store or order information, transaction date, receipt number, and a chronological description of the complaint. Explain what steps you have already taken through the store and Customer Service and clearly state what resolution you are requesting. Attach copies rather than originals of receipts, photographs, emails, shipping records, or other supporting documents. Keep a complete copy of your complaint and proof of delivery for your own records.
If Academy does not resolve the complaint through store management, Customer Service, or corporate correspondence, customers may consider an appropriate outside complaint process depending on the issue. Consumer disputes may be handled through a state consumer-protection agency, Attorney General’s office, payment provider, or another relevant organization, while product-safety issues may require a different regulator. Keep all receipts, emails, photographs, case numbers, delivery information, and notes from previous conversations before escalating the matter. These records can help demonstrate what happened and what attempts were made to obtain a resolution directly from Academy. For routine retail complaints, completing Academy’s internal complaint process first generally provides the clearest documentation.
