Idle Sports Stadium Tycoon FAQ

Yes. It is one game. It launched as Sports Playoff Idle Tycoon (which is why this website’s address still says so), was listed as Idle Sports Tycoon for a period, and is now Idle Sports Stadium Tycoon on both the App Store and Google Play. Your save, purchases and progress are unaffected by the name.

Yes. The game is free on iOS and Android, supported by optional in-app purchases and rewarded ads you choose to watch. Every city can be completed without spending; purchases and ads speed things up, they do not gate progress.

iPhone and iPad on iOS 15.2 or later, and Android phones and tablets on Android 8.0 or later. It is rated 13+ on the App Store and Everyone on Google Play. There is no browser version. On Windows the game is listed through Google Play Games on PC, which has its own system requirements. There is no separate Mac game, but the iPhone and iPad app can be installed from the Mac App Store on Macs with Apple silicon (macOS 12.1 or later).

No. Kano does not publish mods, modified APKs or codes for Idle Sports Stadium Tycoon. Files advertised as a mod APK are third-party repacks that are a common source of malware and can get an account excluded from events. The only official downloads are the App Store and Google Play listings, and the game is free on both.

Yes, once a venue is automated. The AUTOMATE panel asks for a named character at a given level plus an amount of cash; after that the venue keeps earning with the app closed, and a Welcome Back panel shows what it made when you return. Venues that are not automated only earn while you tap them. You play online, with events and leaderboards against other players.

Tap a venue and it shows how many customers it holds and what the next batch costs. Buying customers raises its income, and at set customer counts the venue picks up a multiplier, shown as a green badge beside its income. The game does not show the size of the next multiplier before you buy, a complaint that appears in reviews. Push one venue to its next milestone rather than spreading cash thinly; the biggest jumps land at round numbers.

Three. Cash is the working currency: it builds venues and buys customers, and it is what your automated venues earn while you are away. Sports Stars and Golden Tickets are the scarce pair, and they are what carries when a week transition resets your cash and customers. They come from goals, pickups on the map and events, and can be bought but never have to be.

Yes. Events run weekly, each with its own short economy, milestone rewards and a global leaderboard. Milestone rewards are paid for reaching milestones on the event track and are achievable for casual players. Finishing near the top of a leaderboard is competitive and favours active players. Check the game for the current event and its end time.

New levels are released every week, and weekly events run alongside them. More cities is a request that comes up in reviews; the store listing’s update notes say what each version adds. If you have finished everything available to you, events keep running in the meantime.

20+ sports, including football, basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, tennis, wrestling, cricket, boxing, bowling and Grand Prix racing. Venues unlock as you reach new cities. You own and upgrade the venues rather than picking lineups.

Link your save from inside the game before you switch. Once linked, installing the game on a new device and signing in restores your cities, characters and currencies. An unlinked save lives only on the device that created it, so link it before you change phones rather than after.

Close and reopen the game first; a reward that has not been delivered is often granted on the next launch. If it still is not there, contact support with your player ID, your device, the event or ad in question and roughly when it happened, so the team can check the log.

Idle games animate constantly, and older devices work harder for it. Lower the in-game graphics setting if your device offers it, close the app fully when you are done (it keeps earning anyway), and keep the game updated; performance fixes ship regularly. If a specific version made it worse, tell support which one.

Use the Help option inside the game, the help centre, or email sports.idle@kanoapps.com. Include your player ID, your device and roughly when the problem happened. A real person on the Kano Games support team reads and answers tickets.
