Like the rest of the south of France, Perpignan is a rugby stronghold. Their [[rugby union]] side, [[USA Perpignan]], are regular competitors in the [[European Rugby Champions Cup]] and have been champions of the French [[Top 14]] seven times (most recently in [[2008–09 Top 14 season|2009]]). They play at the [[Stade Aimé Giral]].

Their [[rugby league]] team [[Catalans Dragons]] plays in the British [[Super League]]. The Dragons' games in Perpignan against the Northern English-based sides are usually very popular with British rugby fans, with thousands descending on the city on the day of the game, including many holidaying fans travelling up from the Spanish [[Costa Brava]] to join those who came directly from the UK. The club was founded in 2000 as a merger of [[XIII Catalan]] with the nearby team [[AS Saint Estève]] to form Union Treiziste Catalane in 2000 who changed their name to Catalans Dragons upon transfer from the [[French rugby league system|French]] to [[British rugby league system]]. The Dragons became the first non-English team to win the [[Challenge Cup]] when they defeated [[Warrington Wolves]] in the [[2018 Challenge Cup final|2018 final]]. They are based at [[Stade Gilbert Brutus]]. AS Saint Estève's youth teams still operates as [[Saint-Estève XIII Mavericks]] in the [[National Division 2]], while a new [[Elite One Championship]] club was formed in 2000 under the name [[Saint-Estève XIII Catalan]] which is in effect Catalans Dragons reserves; both play at the [[Stade Municipal (Saint-Estève)|Stade Municipal]] in the suburb of [[Saint-Estève]].

The local [[association football]] team is [[Canet Roussillon FC]].

There is also an [[Australian rules football]] club, [[Perpignan Tigers]], and [[American football]] club [[Grizzlys Catalans]].

The [[Roussillon Grand Prix]] was a [[Grand Prix motor racing]] event that was held between [[1946 Grand Prix season|1946]] and [[1949 Grand Prix season|1949]] in the [[street circuit|streets]] of Perpignan.
