I'm going to be fair and honest and the top 10 below are what I think are the most popular sports and have biggest fan bases in the world. 01. Football (Soccer) 02. Cricket 3. Rugby 04. Tennis 05. Hockey 06. Athletics 07. Motor Racing 08. Basketball 09. Gymnastics 10.Badminton. This is what I personally think are the most popular/exciting sports but I may be wrong here and there but although American sports are good, they're not popular in the rest of the world compared to the sports above.
350-400 million watch or play American football? That means the ENTIRE US watch football, and that there actually are other parts of the world that gives a fuck.
That statement is flat out wrong. American Football has 60 million followers in the US, and 10-15 million combined in other parts of the world.
American Football is far from a popular sport, it's a shit game that only Americans like.
CRICKET IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE 2ND MOST PLAYED, FOLLOWED AND WATCHED SPORT IN THE ENTIRE WORLD (NOT TO MENTION GREATEST)!! For anyone who disagrees please present to me your alternative and evidence supporting it. Cricket is incredibly popular in the following: Australia 22.5 mil South africa 49 mil Britain 51 mil Sri Lanka 21 mil West Indies 4 mil New Zealand 4.5 mil Zimbabwe 12.5 mil Pakistan 173.6 mil Bangladesh 148.5 mil Kenya 40.5 mil India 1.2 Billion, Not to mention Canada, Netherlands ETC.
To say that im shocked that field hockey came third on this yet neither rugby or boxing made the list is an understatement i would have thought boxing would be top 3
Cricket is a very popular sport not just in india and pakistan but around the world beside europe i think >.> you guys are probably just watching test matches of cricket which can be pretty boring but watch t20 or 20 20 its lots of fun and lots of skill involved
@proudfoot94 The video said, "watch or play"... and of course 400-500 million people do not play Baseball because the global economy would collapse due to people dying of boredom.
listen!!!!!!!! why do u people always think cricket is onlyy mostly played in india or pak? the sport is played worldwide. even in usa! in all parks all u see is cricket. many cricket clubs in usa. cricket is eng, australia, sri lanka, south africa, west indies, bangladesh, india, pak, afghanistan, new zealand, kenya, zimbabwe and mannyyyy more. like cricket is played and watched worldwide. and i assure u that it is not boring at all. . just learn how to play it and u'll know!
@Green7951 so rite bro i hear people saying cricket is broing and when u ask them have you ever played them wat do they say ? NO! play it first then comment and btw I LOVVE CRICKET!
@Green7951 everything is played worldwide. The question is "to what extent". In my country people do play cricket but in very small numbers. And yes cricket is mostly played in india,pak and bangladesh because you people combine to make the largest population.Understand now!!!
@imrkha1 The most popular in China is Basketball but it is 10th? Cricket is no.1 in Australia, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Kenya too. 2nd in New Zealand and South Africa and 3rd in England.
@imrkha1 understand what? Have you ever been outside your country? Go to England, Ireland, australia, indian subcontinent or new zealand, or the carribbean islands or southern africa. You'll know what cricket is. Oh and let me tell you, some of the cricket leagues are the most watched tournaments in the whole world, say the World Cup, the World T20, the Indian premier league etc etc. Nothing beats soccer I know, but cricket comes second in the list. Like to or not, nobody cares. Peace out.
@Dimitri0809 Perhaps it's because it's the greatest sport in the history of mankind. Plus it has many formats from tests to one-dayers to 20-20's. It suits those who wanna watch a quick and exciting game and those who can appreciate the skill it takes to play test cricket. By the way baseball is a toddlers game compared to cricket. You require just one decent hit per innings with very little control over the direction of the ball. Nothing compared to the skill and precision required in cricket.
what the fuck? more people play ice hockey than field hockey, NO ONE PLAYS THAT GAY AS VARIANT. ask the other 35 million canadians alone who play ice hockey
@gnrisinmyblood1 lots of indians and pakistanis play field hockey (but way more watch cricket). that is y field hockey is more popular than ice hockey.
@arensaini1 yes some of them might, but the following countries play ice hockey lots...Finland,Sweden,Slovakia,Czech republic,USA(kinda) , Russia, Switzerland(sorta) and most of all Canada, Canadians play it as though it were a religion
@arensaini1 either way, both hockey variants cost money to play, whilst soccer ( dont get me wrong i hate soccer) is cheap cause all you need is a ball and a line in the dirt as a net, whilst hockey requires special sticks, which cost too much money for such countries, and 27/30 million Canadians have or do play hockey, russia and other countries like czezhoslovakia and sweden play it like a secondary national sport, much more popular
i m cricket lover and pakistani but i think cricket is not as popular as mentioned.only 12 nations play cricket internationally. people of south america and africa havnt even heard the name of sachin tenduluker or shahid afridi. however nadal and federer known as worldwide.
@01alibaba10 but india, pakistan, and bangladesh have a lot of people which makes it very popular. and in africa they do play cricket, and have heard of tendulkar, or afridi. think about countries like south africa, kenya, or zimbabwe. and there is one country in south america that likes cricket, and heard of those names. and that is guyana
everyone heard for ronaldinho, ronaldo, maradona.... for michael jordan, kobe bryant.... for federrer, nadal... for mike tyson, muhamed ali.... but nobody heard for nfl players outside the usa-FACT
football is the most popular game in d world no doubt about it while cricket ranks 2nd..To say about cricket its d national game of england..its a global game..Australia has ruled d cricket for almost a decade but seeing their present form i think d next champions will either be india or south africa..countries who have qualified for world cup @least for 1 time include australia,india,south africa,england,pakistan,sri lanka,ireland,usa,uae,new zealand,canada,west indies,scotland,holland,etc
sports like cricket only have a large following in countries such as india and pakistan which have a combined population of about 1.3 billion and is the main reason why these sports are so popular in a numbers sense. But............ if you were to have a most popular sports internationally and not by numbers than sports just like cricket would not be sooo high on the list.
My personal opinion though i think soccer would probably be number 1. And rugby, bball and maybe baseball or softball
american football is shit our sport gaeilge football is better and its only played in one country but theres that many irish people in the world its played in the usa as a hobby
Football( soccer) is the best, i dont care the rest, kkk! idont think golf should be called a sport, it is a hobby. how come it is called a sport, when u just hit the ball, drive a small cart, and hit the ball again into a hole! i am sure that u r not sweating when playing that!
I was surprised not to see athletics, nearly all school boys and girls had made a long jump. The 100 m final at THE event of the Olympics. What about cycling and boxe, the tour de France is viewed in 170 countries, it’s the 4th sporting event, and who doesn’t know Mohamed Ali, probably the sportsman of the past century.
What means the most popular in the world? It’s a tricky question.
The sport with the most of players, viewers, money involved, or the number of country where the sport is practised? There is for each question a different ranking. A first selection is made at the Olympic Games, the discipline must have a minimum of universality. This is a raison why the cricket or American football is not part of the Olympic, and baseball frequently calling into question at each OG since 1992.
@caraba421 The reason cricket is not in olympics is not the lack of universality, it is present in all 6 continents nad icc is a member of like 120+ countries.
But the real reason is that not uptill 5-6 years from now, the shortest format of cricket would last 8 hours, which was really difficult to accomodate into olympics, but with the rise of 3 hour t20 cricket it is a favourite to b return to the 2020 or 2024 olympics
basketball is the greatist sport ever notting compares to it nd cricket nd field hockey ar the worst sports ever them sports ar made for the gay nation nd soccer players ar a bunch of fairies falling down acting like there hurt divein gays which has made the sport gay
no way, cricket and rugby is popular only in englad, india, australia and south africa, only in britsh colonies. American football is popular only in us and canada, and baseball is popular only in us, japan and cuba. Basketball and volleyball is popular all around the world.
no way, cricket and rugby is popular only in englad, india, australia and south africa, only in britsh colonies. American football is popular only in us and canada, and baseball is popular only in us, japan and cuba. Basketball and volleyball is popular all around the world.
Soccer : There is just no doubting this. Its not opinion, its documented, its FACT. Nearly half the world's population tunes into the World Cup (3 billion).
Cricket : Again, fact. Mainly to the fact that its the only mainstream team sport in the entire Indian Subcontinent (Afghanistan to Bangladesh). Then you can add up Australia who rule the sport and England where it originated and S.Africa and blah blah (2.5 billion).
@pompei1968 the world's second most popular sport, and very popular in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, South Africa, England, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, and the West Indies. It is an English sport.
@arensaini1 ya but its also the most boring sport in the world! bunch of guys standing around! it should not even be considered as a sport! its along side with bowling darts ect. it reminds me of baseball! football(soccer) will always be the worlds global sport! guys move every second non stop!
@arensaini1 yes but i would rather see skill, excitement,guys moving non stop than watching a boring long 2 week game like cricket!! like bunch of idiots standing around and baseball is the same...who cares about what the score is
American football shouldnt be on the list cuz it not like a skillful sport or anythings it just a wrestling shit ! ur soo right soccer is #1 nodoubt ! football would never have the world cup !
@wowsolomon123 handball is already a sport. It is quite popular in places like Germany, Poland and Austria. But yes i agree with you, They should call American Football soccer instead.
FOOTBALL is FOOTBALL. Why do u have to call it soccer ? FOOTBALL is crazy, the american type looks as if some hungry buffaloes are left open on a grass field. + if u want to call it football anyways, why do u've to use ur hands?
that table tennis clip was good, lol these guys are soooo fast. My sport is cricket. Nice that you put my fav players' clip there, Afridi. But i think BB should be above NFL. But i assume you researched this i wont dispute it
at your country its only being played by gay people, go outside ur small world called EEUU and u will discover the real sport players they worth more than ur life.
I DON'T THINK GRIDIRON OR AMERICAN-FOOTBALL COULD BE MORE POPULAR THAN BASKETBALL OR BASEBALL CAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY THAT PLAY THIS SPORT. THEY TRIED TO BRING IT TO EUROPE BUT NO ONE IS BUYING IT. IT'S FACT I DON'T HATE AMERICAN FOOTBALL ...IN FACT I LOVE TO SUPPORT COLT IN PLAY OFF BUT I ESTIMATE THEIR FANS TO BE AROUND 100 MILLION AT BEST CAUSE EVEN IN UNITED STATES THEY HAD TO COMPE WITH BASEBALL AND BASKETBALL.
I agree with you. I live in East Europe and its not unheard. I love it but I admit that it never be popular because the rules are complicated. But some people are very short sighted with the NFL.
For example you belive that even the starving African kids are watching the Super Bowl.
I inform you that the rate of the foreign spectators is just 2%.
@footballforever20 i would say thats completely inaccurate considering soccer has been proven the number 1 sport around the world and in the usa in multiple magazines and websites and its benn that way 4 years
yeaaaaa!!! dats right yall talk about other sports... but u cannot mess with soccer dat is most popular skillful and beautiful sport in da planet
NOBODY CAN ARGUE and if u think other sport is more popular ill respect ur opinion but u have 2 b realist and accept dat soccer is da best sport... every country in da WORLD has a soccer team... and some dont... they do, but are not registerd in da fifa association.. ;)
Ice hockey is a lot bigger then field hockey. Ice hockey is easily the second most popular sport in the world. All of Europe plays it some of Asia, and Canada. Plus the United States plays it.
since when did american football become popular, its practically unheard of outside america
also im afraid rugby makes the top 5 at least, the rugby world cup made the 3rd most popular tournament in the world, only behind the football world cup and the olympics
Whatever the hell you may be, I can say you're extremely bogus. Table tennis just happens to be in the Olympics FYI. So would you consider it a sport then?
@penaltyshot4 you know how much technique and skill it takes? you uneducated shit, plus its really fun and you need very good reactions. it's not even my favourite sport but i still like it
I dont think cricket is No.2 most popular sports...... It is probably No.9 or No.10....

Except No.1 and 2 all are guesses.
Soccer : There is just no doubting this. Its not opinion, its documented, its FACT. Nearly half the world's population tunes into the World Cup (3 billion).
Cricket : Again, fact. Mainly to the fact that its the only mainstream team sport in the entire Indian Subcontinent (Afghanistan to Bangladesh). Then you can add up Australia who rule the sport and England where it originated and S.Africa and blah blah (2.5 billion).
Rest haven't been proven. Good day

FOOTBALL is FOOTBALL. Why do u have to call it soccer ? FOOTBALL is crazy, the american type looks as if some hungry buffaloes are left open on a grass field. + if u want to call it football anyways, why do u've to use ur hands?

Field hockey more popular than icehockey? What a fucking joke.
How many field hockey players make up to10 million dollars per year?
Field hockey isn't even on the radar outside of India/Pakistan and perhaps Holland.
Ice hockey on the other hand is HUGE in many european countries, as in rivalling or beating soccer interest , and in north america.

IT'S FACT I DON'T HATE AMERICAN FOOTBALL ...IN FACT I LOVE TO SUPPORT COLT IN PLAY OFF BUT I ESTIMATE THEIR FANS TO BE AROUND 100 MILLION AT BEST CAUSE EVEN IN UNITED STATES THEY HAD TO COMPE WITH BASEBALL AND BASKETBALL.

american football is practically unheard of outside the USA, so how can it be popular over the world?
rugby isnt there, and the rugby world cup is the 3rd most watched sports event in the world, only behind the football world cup and the olympics
i would say it goes: 1 football 2 rugby 3 basketball 4 cricket 5 tennis 6 golf 7 hockey 8 boxing 9 volleyball 10 table tennis
maybe not 100% accurate but a lot closer than this one

footballforever20 2 years ago
I agree with you. I live in East Europe and its not unheard. I love it but I admit that it never be popular because the rules are complicated. But some people are very short sighted with the NFL.
For example you belive that even the starving African kids are watching the Super Bowl.
I inform you that the rate of the foreign spectators is just 2%.

A lot more people then you think like American football.
The NFL has one football game in Britain. And it was sold out minutes after tickets were released. only 5% of the people there were American.
