In the context of urbanization and global competition, modern megacities face the need to find sustainable development models that ensure a high quality of life, economic stability and social cohesion. The sports industry, which includes both mass and professional sports, is becoming one of these tools. The aim of the article is to identify the nature and scale of the influence of the sports industry on the socio-economic development of large cities. The problems of the research are defined by insufficient elaboration of the topic in the scientific literature, especially in the context of a comprehensive analysis of the impact of various sports on public health, the formation of national identity, economic activity and the image of cities. The relevance of the topic is confirmed by the growing interest on the part of municipal and state bodies in investing in sports infrastructure. The research methodology is based on the analysis of domestic and foreign scientific sources, the generalization of empirical data, as well as the use of the case study method, which includes examples of successful implementation of sports projects in megacities. The results of the study showed that mass sports promote health, reduce morbidity, expand healthy lifestyle practices and social integration. Professional sports, in turn, have a “demonstration effect”, form a positive public mood, enhance a sense of national pride, stimulate employment, attract investment and contribute to the modernization of urban infrastructure. In conclusion, it is emphasized that the sports industry plays a system-forming role in the sustainable development of megacities. The findings can be used in the development of urban development strategies aimed at increasing competitiveness, strengthening social capital and creating a favourable urban environment. A promising direction is to conduct regional research, taking into account local specifics.
