Discord dominates with sports betting communities and pick sharing servers alongside official fan communities, while Reddit hosts team-specific subreddits for virtually every professional franchise.
: Hive Index lists 14 Professional Sports subreddits on Reddit. Most listings with size data are gigantic (64%) or massive (21%). We only have a handful of listings so far, so treat these numbers as directional. The main Professional Sports topic page covers every platform we track for this topic.
: Forum is the most common (100%). Others that show up often include live chat. Use the feature filters above the list to narrow results.
: All 14 listings on this page are free to join (no paid membership or application gate listed). Access rules can still change on the community side.
: On Hive Index, the default Popular sort surfaces r/soccer, r/nba, r/soccercirclejerk, and r/hockey first. Popularity reflects visitor interest in communities on the site, not a universal quality score. Use the sort menu for Ratings, Largest, or Newest.
: Listings are submitted by community builders and researchers, reviewed for topic relevance, and updated with platform, feature, member, review, and traffic data where available. Member counts are approximate. Popular reflects visitor interest in communities on the site, with richer profiles breaking ties. Ratings, Largest, and Newest use review scores, reported member counts, and listing age instead.
