As in the rest of Spain, football is the most popular competitive sport, followed by basketball.

The main football club is Athletic Club, commonly known as Athletic Bilbao in English. It plays at the new San Mamés stadium, which opened in 2013 and seats 53,332 spectators.[125] Athletic Bilbao was one of the founding members of the Spanish football league, La Liga, and has played in the Primera División (First Division)[126] ever since - winning it on eight occasions. Its red and white striped flag can be seen throughout the city. Athletic are noted for its Basque policy, with only players born in or having clear connection to the Basque Country or Navarre being allowed to represent the club.

The main basketball team is Bilbao Basket, which plays in the Liga ACB. Their home venue is the Bilbao Arena.

In addition, Bilbao offers many outdoor activities owing to its location by the sea among hilly countryside. Hiking and rock climbingin the nearby mountains are very popular. Watersports, especially surfing, are practised on the beaches of nearby Sopelana and Mundaka.
