According to a 2022 survey, fantasy football was the most played fantasy sport among season-long players in North America. The second-most played fantasy sport was fantasy basketball (NBA). However, the drop in respondents who played fantasy football, 54 percent, to those who played fantasy basketball, 25 percent, was significant, with over double the amount of players participating in the former over the latter. The survey also revealed that a smaller niche of fantasy sports players competed over the TV show The Bachelor.
