Summary/Abstract: Local self-governments, ensuring financial support from their budgets, play a significant role in the support of sport in the Czech Republic. The paper aims to evaluate the role of the Moravian-Silesian region as a supporter of sport and the volume of expenditures allocated to the development of sport and leisure activities in the selected cities. Expenditures on the support of sport and leisure activities in the Moravian-Silesian region in years 2010- 2017 are analysed more closely, and expenditures in the area of sport in the selected cities is evaluated. The analysis demonstrated differences in the volume of allocated expenditures on sport, investment in sport per capita, as well as a percentage share from city budgets. The city of Ostrava has a dominant position in the volume of allocated expenditures on sport. Nevertheless, it allocates relatively low expenditures per capita and share from the city budget. By means of cluster analysis in 2017, differences have been proven in the expenditures on supporting sport per capita and as a percentage share from the cities budget. The most marked differences between the selected cities of the Moravian-Silesian region are present between the first cluster (Rýmařov, Krnov, Frýdek- Místek, and Bohumín) and the third cluster (Nový Jičín).
