Best Sports Tech Companies in Brazil

The 56 best Sports Tech companies in Brazil in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: Netshoes.

Brazil's Sports Tech scene is stacking up fast, and this directory ranks the 56 companies we track here by disclosed equity funding and recent funding momentum. Total disclosed capital across the cohort sits at $507M, with Netshoes alone accounting for $457M of that, which tells you something about how concentrated the prize still is at the top.

Median app-install growth is running at roughly +18% YoY across sports and sporting-goods categories on the Play Store, and that curve is bending upward. Fan engagement and live competition access are the demand engines right now, and an Innovation Mission spotlight on Brazil Sports Tech makes clear the ecosystem is drawing real international attention. King of Pitaco ($38M raised) and PlayGreen ($6M) are the names I'd watch below Netshoes, with backers like Kaszek and Bossa Invest signaling that smart money is already circling the sector. So if you're trying to read which way capital is moving in Brazilian Sports Tech, the funding concentration and the install momentum are both pointing at the same answer: up.
