Blog on Xbox Game Pass
13 gamesSports games on Xbox Game Pass cover licensed team sports as well as more arcade-style takes on athletics, and because annual sports franchises are usually a day-one release for subscribers, Game Pass can be one of the cheapest ways to keep up with a yearly sports game rather than buying the new edition every year at full price. The lineup shifts as older entries rotate out and new releases come in, so this list reflects what's actually playable on Game Pass right now rather than the full history of the franchise. Every sports game on Game Pass below is shown with its current Microsoft Store price for comparison.
Because sports titles are frequently replaced by a new annual edition, check the release date on any sports game here before assuming it's the current season's rosters and rules. See what's new on Game Pass to catch the latest sports releases as soon as they land in the subscription. Each title below is free with your subscription — the price shown is what it would cost to buy and keep. See other genres or the full catalogue.
