YouGov Global Sports Rankings 2023: The world's buzziest sports events - ranked

After taking small but confident steps back towards post-pandemic normalcy in 2021, the global world of sport came roaring back to its full glory in 2022, possibly stronger than ever before.

YouGov Sport’s annual Buzz Report makes its return for 2023. As you’ve come to expect from last year’s report, the 2023 edition includes data we have collected on teams, leagues and events from around the globe. In the 2023 report we identify the world’s top-ranked Sports events across eleven international markets, and reveal which sports properties have seen the highest change in score year on year.

Our data

The data included throughout the report comes from one of YouGov Sport’s signature capabilities, SportsIndex.

SportsIndex operates in 35 markets across the world, tracking 200 key domestic and international properties across 30 sports. Twenty-one properties are tracked in every single market. This tool gives our clients the capability to do everything from measuring the effect of yesterday’s news headlines to establishing a season-on-season trend stretching back years. And because it operates internationally, users can track and compare properties across the world.
