Sports in Colorado

A map showing the location of the U.S. State of Colorado.
The location of the State of Colorado in the United States of America.

This list of sports in the U.S. State of Colorado includes professional teams, college sports, and individual sports from the Denver Metropolitan Area and other cities.

Professional sports teams

Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies.
Empower Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos.
Ball Arena, home of the Denver Nuggets, the Colorado Avalanche, and the Colorado Mammoth.
Dick's Sporting Goods Park, home of the Colorado Rapids.

Colorado is the least populous state with a franchise in each of the major professional sports leagues. The state is able to support the teams because it contains a large metropolitan area with a higher population than any other city within 550 miles (885 km). Therefore, many of the residents in the surrounding states support the teams in Denver, as shown by the reach of the Broncos' radio network.[1]
