10 Reviews: Best Folding Chair for Sports (Apr 2024)

Let’s start with the TravelChair Slacker Chair which embodies the perfect blend of portability, durability, and comfort. This chair is made with function as a priority. With no backrest and no footrest, it’s no wonder this chair is so light at just 2.2 lbs. Even so, this chair has a capacity of 275 lbs. Makes you focus on enjoying your little one’s sporting events.

This is a very portable stool like chair. Folds up small like a tripod for your camera. Perfect for sporting events. I like that the strap os attached to the leg so there is no carry bag. I bought 2 more to keep in the car :)

Even though it is only slightly lighter than the Slacker Chair, the folding chair by MOON LENCE manages to be the lightest product at only 2 pounds. This chair comes with a backrest, ideal to use if your back starts to complain and the game isn’t over. This heavy-duty chair is super easy to set-up, you won’t miss any moment from your favorite team.

This little chair is perfect for carrying to an event such as an outdoor concert or sporting event. It’s super lightweight and easy to set up.

Watching matches is both thrilling and unskippable. With this comfy chair, you can enjoy the competition without being interrupted by thirst as Coleman has provided a built-in cooler and cup holder. The roomy seat also gives you the opportunity to change the sitting position as comfortable as possible.

Love this chair. It’s pretty spacious and comfortable. I bought it for traveling when attending my boyfriends sports games to easily and comfortably sit as not all fields have seating. 100% recommend. I love the built in pocket and small cooler it keeps our drinks cool during the game.

Next, we have the Kijaro Folding Sling Chair which comes with bright colors to brighten up your day. The seat is made of durable polyester and breathable mesh so your back can breathe well. The dual lock experience gives you optimal comfort with no-sag seating. It also comes with an organizer pouch to keep your belongings.

We like these chairs the best. With kids in sports you are lugging you chair 2x at least a week to practice or games. This chair is durable! Plus I love that it doesn’t have the saggy bottom & back that most cheap chair do. These chairs really support your back and bottom so it’s a lot more comfortable for longer sitting

You can’t miss your kid’s first football tournament for whatever reason; including the hot weather. The best solution is that you can use the Quik Shade MAX Shade Chair. It has an adjustable canopy for maximum sun protection. You can enjoy the game without burning your skin.

This is a lifesaver at the many kids’ sporting events I attend. It’s easy to carry over my shoulder and set up. The cover protects me from the sun and keeps me a little cooler. It also slants down in any direction if the sun is lower in the sky. Highly recommend it!

GCI Outdoor Freestyle Rocker offers compact, portable, and comfortable outdoor seating. The rocking feature is unbeatable. the sturdy powder-coated steel frame is able to support loads of up to 250 pounds while rocking you gently. Bring it to any sporting event you attend and let people envy your magic chair.

This chair is pretty comfortable by sports chair standards, but what makes it stand out is how sturdy it feels. The rocking feature is more of a novelty, and it is amusing seeing the look on people's faces when they see you rocking in a sports chair LOL.

Are you tired of looking for a chair that is strong enough for heavy loads? Don’t give up, give ALPS Mountaineering a chance for you to try. With a heavy-duty steel frame, it can hold up to 800 pounds of load. Well, now you understand that this chair is called King Kong for a reason. It also gives your arms room to rest, complete with a cup holder and side pockets for maximum storage.

This Chair is a solid as they come. It supports my big A@# and has shown no signs of tearing or ripping like the cheap ones do. I wish they made chairs this well with your favorite sports teams on them.

Replace all your bulky camping chairs with a Terralite portable chair by WildHorn Outfitters. It is designed for all outdoor activities from camping to sporting events. To carry it with you, you can simply attach it to your backpack with the built-in strap. You will forget you bring it until you need it.

Bought 3 of these for a Backcountry camping trip in Glacier NP. Super easy to set up, compact, and relatively lightweight (worth hauling in to Backcountry sites). Great chairs. Love love love them. I plan to use them for watching my daughter's sporting events as well. Nice carry case, too.

This one looks so fancy than the rest product above, especially the deluxe lace-up design that makes it steals the show. All eyes will be on it! As for the construction, the rustproof aluminum frame made it last for ages. Not to mention the five adjustable reclining positions that take your seating experience to the next level.

Lightweight and comfortable. Storage compartment is nice for magazines, sunscreen, etc. Shoulder straps make it easy to carry. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for

Just CLIQ Chair ends this list with its bottle-sized chair. Yep, bottle-sized. When folded, it measures only 3.4 x 3.4 x 13.0 inches and weighs 3.65 pounds. This is not a toy at all. It uses premium materials to make sure you sit stably on all surfaces. This chair offers the easiest set up that you can do under a minute: push the button, extend the arms, and enjoy.

Fantastic I am so thrilled with these. Compact / Sturdy / Comfortable / Easy. These will be perfect for sports games and traveling - when I never seem to have enough arms to carry everything!
