"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Chances are you know a sports fan. Not someone who likes sports, but a true fan. Someone who tailgates. Cheers. Someone who, anytime they're near a TV, has got to "put the game on." Maybe you catch them out to dinner looking suspiciously into their laps only to realize they have been live streaming the game the whole time you've been out. Since the sports calendar is busy all year round, chances are the sports fan in your life is always in a mood to receive gifts. And with the holidays upon us, there's no time like the present to get shopping.

Sports are ruled by seasons and dates, but the highest-scoring gifts are timeless. Ruminate on the sport, team, or player they love most: Are they obsessed with the Chicago Cubs or Buffalo Bills? Do they play sports themselves? You can go the wearables route—something they can throw on that feels stylish (not doofy) to go to a game or to watch it from home. Or maybe you get them something that keeps them connected to The Game while they're at work. Something to keep on their desk and remember them of better times.

Whether it's for the tennis lover, basketball baller, golf guy (to name just a few), these are the 40 best gifts for sports fans come the holiday season. We've done the athletic work for you already. All you need to do is add it to your cart.
