Sports sponsorship on YouTube, sport by sport

It depends on the sport. In the 12 months to November 5, 2026, the brand with the most videos on running channels was COROS. On tennis channels it was Diadem Sports, on baseball channels Stance, and on boxing channels XMartial.

The count, sport by sport

Videos from November 5, 2025 to November 5, 2026 that carry a brand's code or link, on the sports channels we track. Betting brands are left out.

Gear brands book a lot of channels in one sport

  1. Pongbot was on 16 tennis channels.
  2. Insta360 was on 15 cycling channels.
  3. COROS was on 10 running channels.
  4. Rúngne was on 9 climbing channels.

If you sell into one sport, that's the shape to copy. Several channels in that sport at once, each with its own code, so you see which one sells.

Fan channels sell tickets

On football, basketball and hockey channels, ticket apps lead. Gametime was on 34 football channels and 12 basketball channels in that year.

Our influencers page names the fan channels brands book most, with the brands that paid each one.

One brand, one channel

In boxing, each of the top three brands put all its videos on one channel: XMartial 75, Athlon Rub 54 and Meisterelite 49.

HUUB did the same in cycling, 42 videos on one channel.

Before you go after a channel a rival uses, check how many of its videos carry that rival's code. When it carries dozens a year, ask about exclusivity before you pitch it.

What to do with this

  1. Find your sport in the table and look at who already sits on its channels.
  2. Then look for the channels your buyers watch that no rival has booked yet. That list is what we pull for the free audit.
