{{Main|Sport on the Isle of Wight}}

Sport plays a key part in the culture of the Isle of Wight. Sports include golf, marathon, cycling and sailing.

The [[motorcycle speedway]] team [[Isle of Wight Warriors]] compete at the [[Smallbrook Stadium]].

Until their folding in 2016, the [[ice hockey]] team [[Isle of Wight Raiders]] played at the [[Ryde Arena]]. They had a feeder team [[Vectis Tigers]] which in turn had a youth feeder team [[Isle of Wight Wildcats]].

In [[association football|football]], the now-disbanded [[Ryde Sports F.C.]], founded in 1888, was one of the eight founder members of the [[Hampshire League]] in 1896. Currently there are several non-league clubs, the most notable of which are [[Brading Town F.C.|Brading Town]], [[Cowes Sports F.C.|Cowes Sports]], [[East Cowes Victoria Athletic A.F.C.|East Cowes Vics]] and [[Newport (IOW) F.C.|Newport IOW]]. There is also an [[Isle of Wight Saturday Football League]] which feeds into the Hampshire League with two divisions and two reserve team leagues.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Isle has produced several high profile players including Kevin "The Hitman" Broderick, now playing for a local Sunday side.
