Summary/Abstract: There is extensive knowledge of innovation management, but less is known from a sports perspective. Innovation plays an important role in sports today. Innovation through new ideas, change and innovation helps shape how the sport is played, watched, and organized. In other words, innovation affects the role of sports in society. Despite its importance for the development of sport, innovation has not received the scientific attention it deserves. However, in recent years, sports innovation has started to emerge as a research area in its own right. This article aims to synthesize current knowledge on sports innovation by reviewing previous and current research on innovation and sports. Based on the reviewed literature, a typology of sports innovation has been developed. The purpose of this article is to bring together the fields of innovation and sport by proposing a research agenda focusing specifically on sports innovation management. This will help bridge the gap between sports and innovation studies by suggesting future research directions and managerial implications.
