Supporting Austin’s Competitive Spirit

Austin is known worldwide for its embracing nature. That reputation extends deep into the sporting world. From football to triathlons, from softball to volleyball, motorsports to kayaking and all points in between – your sporting event has a home in Austin, Texas. Continental magazine calls Austin the "Most Sports Crazed City in the World." Yes, this is Longhorn country, but beyond our college town team spirit, Austin is a city that hosts a minor league baseball team, a champion hockey team, arena football and countless athletic contests, championships and more. Come see why Austin has become one of the hottest destinations in the country for hosting sporting events.

At the Austin Sports Commission our mission is to recruit, retain and grow professional, collegiate and amateur sporting events. The Commission also works with organizers to locate hotel accommodations, venues and vendors, secure sponsorships and helps increase participation and attendance at events. After all, Austin loves the outdoors and is always up for some friendly competition.
