THE TOP 25 SPORTS HASHTAGS ON TIKTOK IN 2025

As you may have already noticed, TikTok is showing your posts to a few of your followers.

Yes, that’s right! most of your followers never get to see your posts.

Regardless of the industry, even the top fastest-growing industries are having to spend money (boosting their TikTok videos) to reach their hard-earned followers on TikTok.

If you have taken my marketing strategy training session or are subscribed to my exclusive newsletter, you surely have already put into practice some real & proven marketing techniques to increase your sports business sales and do not rely on vanity hashtagging.

As a result, publishing popular sports hashtags has become one of the biggest social media marketing distractions, especially for marketers or business owners who still need to improve their social media strategy, customer service or yet meet their business and marketing objectives.

Remember, the gains from popular sports hashtags are super minimal compared to activating a real marketing strategy for your food business.

Not saying more, find below the most popular sports hashtags on TikTok.

What are the most popular sports hashtags on TikTok in 2025?

Customer segmentation is key

Before you start using some of the below most popular sports hashtags on TikTok, you may want to also use some niche, unique sports hashtags that will connect you to your exact audience.

For example, if you provide rock climbing training in New York, you may also want to use “rock climb” and “NYC” related hashtags.

Publishing popular sports hashtags will surely bring you likes to your TikTok content, but it may not be enough to reach your desired audience.

If you want to have – let’s say – 30 great exclusive clients per week, then you do not necessarily need thousands of “likes” and “followers” on TikTok.

You may decide to reach – let’s say – mums with grown-up children who are looking for tai chi in San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury area. That’s quite a niche and that could be enough business for you. Then you will use far better hashtags as you know the exact people you want to reach.

Conclusion

To use sport-related hashtags effectively on TikTok, it’s essential to strike a balance.

Don’t use too many sports hashtags in a single video, as it may make your caption look cluttered and spammy.

Instead, focus on using a mix of popular and sport-specific hashtags that are directly relevant to your content. This way, you can optimise your chances of reaching the right audience and increasing engagement on your TikTok videos.

Remember: Whether you hashtag or not, TikTok will only show your post to a few of your followers. It sucks, I know. That’s why you need to invest your limited time, money and resources in proven marketing strategies that bring real sales to your sports business.
