Here is a list of sports that are very popular in post-Severance Ikaanos.

The Arena. Undoubtedly the most popular attraction in the city, especially among the upper-middle class and above.
Soccer. A long-standing favorite well before the Severance. The sport is organized into two leagues: the A2 division and the top-tier Ikaanos United Soccer League (IUSL). There are currently seven teams playing in the IUSL:
- Westside Strikers
- Whitehaven Falcons
- Redhaven Forge FC
- Procoms Circuit FC
- Emerald FC
- Highspire Guardians (Bellemme)
- Redford
Rensai Duelling. A traditional martial competition using short carbon rods. Points are awarded for precision strikes, not force. A sport that originated from the Hakusan Empire during the mid 2300s.
Aerodisc. Was a very popular sport on Earth (starting circa 2090) but still played in Ikaanos today. Similar to ultimate frisbee but with weighted aerodynamic discs that curve unpredictably.
Windrider Sailing. Small personal sailcraft used on Ikaanos' inland channels (Red River) or reservoirs. Very stylish, and exclusively aristocratic.
Horse racing. The Ikaanian Grand Race (IGR) is held monthly in North Whitehaven sports arena. Exclusive to the upper classes.
