Sport (fictional + real) and competition queer romance recommendations!

Feel free to leave your own recommendations in the comments and I will add them to the list! :)

Yes, queer and trans folks play sports. These are those books.

Book with main characters that are disabled. Both physical and mental included. Eg chronic/terminal illness, physical disabilities, mental illness, neurodivergance, addiction, injury and injury recovery, symptoms causing health issues etc. Doesn't have to be a diagnosed condition. Not necessarily by authors with shared experiences. Books any be any genre. Added only 1st book of series unless there are different characters.

Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments! No "magic cure" books.

Whether it's about the romance or the sport or both, these books at the very least contain characters who practice and/or care about sports, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and possibly do the kissy

A sports list to swoon over in 2026. Contains , F1 , Hockey, Football (UK soccer) , Bull Riding, etc

Always updating ranging from YA to 18+

Queer romance set in, on, around, or a stone's-throw-away-from a hockey rink. Pro-level, Ivy league or Rec-level, we don't discriminate here.

July is Disability Pride Month! Here's a big pile of books with disabled characters. All the books also have at least one queer character, and in most cases, the queer character and the disabled character are one and the same. (There are a few non-fiction titles in the mix as well; representation for queerness may be subtext/interpreted). (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators! A group of us collaborate to make these recommendations.)

Books with main characters (or love interests) that are hissy and rude/prickly but deep down it’s because they are sensitive little cupcakes who are afraid of being hurt and just want some love and affection 🥺

Open to suggestions!

queer hockey romance books

My fave MM romances (most are hockey related lol)!

It's enemies to lovers. It's rivals to lovers. It's hate fucking as its finest.

Hockey Romance

If like most people, you’ve read Heated Rivalry and are craving more, here is a big list of mlm hockey romances!

Seeing any books or series you’d like added? Suggestions are more than welcome!

Please note i have not read most of these, so i cannot tell you the tropes or content warnings. I do believe nearly all of these have smut.
