Kyoto has been the site of many annual sporting events, ranging from the 400-year-old [[Tōshiya]] archery exhibition held at the [[Sanjūsangen-dō|Sanjūsangen-dō Temple]] to the [[Kyoto Marathon]] and the [[Shimadzu All Japan Indoor Tennis Championships]].

Several sports teams are based in Kyoto, including professional [[Association football|football]] and [[basketball]] teams. In football, Kyoto has been represented by [[Kyoto Sanga FC]], a club which won the [[Emperor's Cup]] in 2002 and rose to [[J. League]]'s Division 1 in 2005. Kyoto Sanga began as an amateur non-company club in the 1920s, making it the J. League team with the longest history, although it was only after professionalization in the 1990s that it was able to compete in the Japanese top division. Until 2019, Kyoto Sanga used [[Takebishi Stadium Kyoto]] in Ukyō-ku as its home stadium, but home matches were moved to the city of [[Kameoka, Kyoto]] in 2020. There are also several amateur football clubs based in Kyoto. The amateur clubs AS Laranja Kyoto, [[Ococias Kyoto AC]], and Kyoto Shiko Soccer Club compete in the regional [[Kansai Soccer League]].

Another professional team based in Kyoto is the [[Kyoto Hannaryz]], a men's basketball team in the First Division of the [[B.League]] that plays its home games at the [[Kyoto City Gymnasium]] in Ukyō-ku. Kyoto has also been the home of other professional teams that have subsequently moved or been disbanded. Between 1949 and 1952, the [[Central League]] professional baseball team [[Shochiku Robins]] played home games at Kinugasa Ballpark in Kita-ku and Nishi-Kyōgoku Baseball Park (now known as Wakasa Stadium) in Ukyō-ku. This team eventually became the [[Yokohama DeNA BayStars]]. Kyoto also hosted two teams in the [[Japan Women's Baseball League]] before the league folded in 2021.

[[Company team]]s in Kyoto include two rugby squads, the [[Mitsubishi Motors]] Kyoto Red Evolutions and the [[Shimadzu]] Breakers, which compete in the Kansai regional rugby league [[Japan Rugby League One#Related competitions|Top West]]. In baseball, company teams have competed in the regional JABA Kyoto Tournament annually since 1947.

[[Kyoto Racecourse]] in Fushimi-ku is one of ten racecourses operated by the [[Japan Racing Association]]. It hosts notable horse races including the [[Kikuka-shō]], Spring [[Tenno Sho]], and [[Queen Elizabeth II Cup]].
