Carshalton has two football clubs: [[Carshalton Athletic F.C.]] (home ground at The War Memorial Sports Ground, Colston Avenue) and Carshalton FC (at Beddington Park).

At the '''Westcroft Leisure Centre''' in [[Grove Park, Carshalton]], there are health and fitness facilities including two swimming pools one being a teaching pool. In 2012 Westcroft underwent a major renovation costing £11 million, bringing improved swimming facilities, dance and spinning studios and beauty treatment rooms. There are eight courts in the sports hall, providing facilities for activities including badminton, gymnastics, trampolining, basketball, football, netball and volleyball. In April 2013 the centre was shortlisted for the LABC London Regional Building Excellence Awards.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sutton.gov.uk/suttonpress/index.aspx?articleid=17473|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140906141743/http://www.sutton.gov.uk/suttonpress/index.aspx?articleid=17473|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 September 2014|title=Westcroft becomes finalist for building excellence awards|work=sutton.gov.uk}}</ref>
