30 micro sports creators from the October 2026 index
Public profiles only: handle, platform, follower band, niche labels, and stated country. Handles open the creator's profile page where one exists, otherwise their own account. Contact details are part of the product and stay masked here.
Swipe sideways to see every column.
Avatars are generated illustrations assigned by a hash of the public handle, not creator photos. The same handle always draws the same character, and the character says nothing about what the creator looks like.
Unlock emails for all 40 micro sports creators. Every one has a contact email on file in UGC Agent, 10 more than this table shows. The button opens the UGC Database filtered to sports; set the follower range there. 3-day free trial. Cancel anytime. Every creator shows in full during the trial; emails unlock when the paid plan starts.

Micro sports creators, 5,000 to 25,000 followers
A micro sports creator sits between a nano's flat rate and an influencer's reach premium: 40 of them here, median 9,516 followers. 45% link a portfolio, so you can usually see prior paid work before you brief, and turnaround is faster because most have run a brand deal already.
The 40 creators here run from 6,934 followers at the first quartile to 11,511 at the third, with the median at 9,516: 57% in the 5k to 10k band, 43% in the 10k to 50k band. 45% link a portfolio site, a second signal that they take briefs.
Where micro sports creators are based
The top three countries are United States (19), Australia (4), United Kingdom (4), together 27 creators. 45% of the creators on this page link a portfolio site from their bio.
After that come United Arab Emirates (2), Chile (2), Colombia (2). The six together account for 33 creators. Each country link opens the sports list for that market, with its own table, platform split, and follower bands, which is the quickest way to check whether a market has enough depth for a ten-creator test before you brief.
What micro sports creators cost
Every creator on this page falls in the rate calculator's micro column (5k to 25k). At that tier a 15 to 30 second UGC video typically runs $225, between $150 and $350, a five-photo set about $225, and 12 months of paid usage adds about $225 per video on top of production. Use those as an opening range, not a quote: niche, deliverable count and usage terms move every number.

Questions about micro sports creators
How many micro sports creators are there?
40 as of 29 October 2026, with 29 on Instagram and 11 on TikTok. Only profiles that passed the UGC qualification check are counted; profiles that merely mention a brand are not. New creators are added with every search run inside the app.
Where are micro sports creators based?
United States (19), Australia (4), United Kingdom (4) are the largest pools among creators who state a country. Country is taken from the public profile, so 5 of the 40 have no listed location or sit outside the recognised list.
How many followers does a typical micro sports creator have?
The median is 9,516 followers, with the middle half between 6,934 and 11,511. 0% have fewer than 5,000 followers and only 43% are above 10,000. That is by design: the index is built around creators who make content for brands to run, not around reach.
How current is this list?
Counts and the 30 listed profiles come from the 29 October 2026 export of the index, and the page regenerates with each export. Follower figures are shown as bands because exact counts drift, and the listed profiles rotate so the same accounts are not on show permanently.
Where are the contact details?
Not on this page. Emails, fit scores, and portfolio links are the product. Run a micro sports creators search inside UGC Agent, where every plan starts with a 3-day free trial (open all 40 in UGC Agent), or see pricing for list sizes.
How are sports creators different from fitness creators?
Fitness creators train, usually in a gym or at home, and their content is about the workout. Sports creators play, and their content is about a sport: a match, a race, a ride, a drill. That matters for gear brands, because a football boot or a padel racket needs to be shown in real play by someone who plays at the right level. For general training products, the fitness pool is far larger; for sport-specific gear, start here.
Should sports creators be gifted or paid?
For low-cost accessories and a single organic clip, gifting can work with nano creators who wanted the gear anyway. For product-in-play footage, multi-session reviews, event-day content, or footage licensed for ads, pay a fee alongside the product. Higher-value equipment can offset part of the rate. Say which arrangement applies in the first message, and let the creator keep the gear unless there is a clear reason not to.
What claims and disclosure rules apply to sports gear and nutrition?
Gifted gear, payment, and affiliate codes must be disclosed clearly in the clip under the FTC Endorsement Guides in the US and ASA and CMA guidance in the UK. Claims about speed, power, injury prevention, or recovery are advertising claims the brand must substantiate, and sports nutrition is also subject to supplement and food rules in both markets. Brief creators to describe what they observed in their own sessions and supply the approved wording for anything performance-related.
