- This is TikTok's own trending list for its Sports category: athletes, matches and sports moments, with the 7-day search figure per topic.
- Fastest risers are the topics whose searches grew most across the seven days in the snapshot.
- Use the search topic wording in your caption and on-screen text; that is what TikTok matches against.
These are the sports topics TikTok lists as trending in search this week: athletes, matches and moments, ranked by TikTok's own popularity score. TikTok groups its trending searches into categories inside Creator Search Insights, and this page mirrors the Sports category with the 7-day search figure TikTok reports for each topic.
How to use it: put the topic's exact wording in your caption and on-screen text, because TikTok matches searches against both. A topic with few matched videos is easier to be found for than one with tens of thousands.
Other categories: gaming, food, fashion, travel, sports and the weekly report.

Sports topic labels TikTok writes itself
Ranked by TikTok's own popularity score in the Trending tab of Creator Search Insights. The sparkline is the last seven days.
TikTok names these topics itself and folds many related searches into each one, so the figure is the size of the topic, not the number of people typing that exact phrase. Compare them with each other, not with the typed searches above.
