Sports Business Leaders (SBL) is a national connections platform and event series built for sports business professionals—including founders, investors, operators, and team executives. Since launching in Philadelphia, we’ve hosted 20 events across 10 cities since January 2025, with active chapters in NYC, Detroit, South Florida, and more on the way. Beyond our in-person events, we’re building a digital connections platform designed to help sports businesses accelerate growth through smarter business development. From curated introductions to high-value networking and partner opportunities, SBL exists to make the right connections happen at the right time—online and in person. Our mission is to foster innovation, collaboration, and real commercial outcomes across the sports industry.
