sports leagues

Sports leagues are organized groups of teams or players that compete regularly within a structured schedule, often for a championship or title. They typically operate under shared rules and governance, fostering fair competition. Leagues can be local, national, or international, and may include regular season games followed by playoffs or tournaments. Revenue is generated through ticket sales, broadcasting rights, sponsorships, and merchandise. This structure promotes balanced competition, fan engagement, and professional development. Examples include the NFL for American football, the NBA for basketball, and UEFA for European soccer.
