“sports games” on the App Store in United States

The apps people see when they search for “sports games”, how often it's searched and how hard it is to rank. Search checked on Oct 28, 2026.

How to target “sports games” on the App Store

  1. If “sports games” describes your app, put its words in your name or subtitle: those count most.
  2. Words that don't fit there go in your keyword field: 100 characters, commas without spaces, no word twice. Apple combines words across your name, subtitle and keyword field, so “sports games” doesn't need to appear as one phrase.
  3. The App Store doesn't search your description, so repeating “sports games” there won't help you rank.
  • Difficulty is 63: the top apps are strong. A newer app usually ranks sooner for longer, more specific searches that contain these words.

What the numbers mean

Popularity (5–100) is AppGrowly's estimate of how often people search for it, from the App Store's own search suggestions. Apple shares its own popularity score only with Apple Ads advertisers, so treat it as a guide rather than an exact count.

Difficulty (0–100) comes from the apps already in the top 10: how many ratings they have, how many have the exact search in their name, and how long they've been on the store.
