When you think of celebrity sports fans, you might as well count Jack Nicholson as being on the LA Lakers, but not everyone will think of the female fans. There are plenty of us out there, including some of our favorite celebs. There is also a long list of different sports, like basketball, football, baseball, golf, tennis, and more.
We’ve gathered a list, in no particular order, of some of our favorite actresses, singers, and models who have been seen sitting courtside, cheering on their favorite teams. Celebrities like to sit courtside and take the time to catch up or even go on a date. A famous couple who we’ve all spotted at a game before is Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher. A lot of them even take their kids out to enjoy the game.
Here are 34 die-hard female sports fans who also happen to be very famous.
Jennifer Lawrence Loves the Cardinals
Jennifer Lawrence is from Louisville and she still cheers on her hometown team. She has been seen cheering at the University of Louisville for the Cardinals at more than one basketball game. Like most fans, she enjoys munching on stadium treats like pizza. Not only is she a sports fan, but she isn’t too bad of an athlete herself.
Lawrence had to train intensely for some of her roles like Katniss Everdeen, the role she played in the Hunger Games series. When she was back in high school, Lawrence took part in cheerleading, softball, field hockey, and basketball. She even played on the boys’ team which her father coached.
Zooey Deschanel is a fan of the Giants
Zooey Deschanel is a quirky Grammy and Emmy award-winning actress who is known for her role as Jessica Day on New Girl and in a few movies like Yes Man, 500 Days of Summer, and Failure to Launch.

She is still a fan of the San Antonio basketball team, and Longoria herself isn’t too bad of an athlete either. She can be seen at the George Lopez Celebrity Golf Classic in 2012 playing some golf, and can I just say, she isn’t half bad.
Lady Gaga Is into The Yankees
Lady Gaga is known for going over the top with her performances and when she is making an appearance. Her high energy doesn’t stop there, she is a huge fan of the New York Yankees. This probably has to do a bit with her being born in Manhattan, and you don’t usually steer away from your hometown.
Apparently, she is such a huge fan that a crazy rumor has been going around. They say that she was banned from the Yankee clubhouse after she invited herself in to greet the players only wearing underwear, fishnets, and an open Yankees jersey.
Courteney Cox Is a Lakers Girl
How could any of us forget Courteney Cox playing Monica on the TV show Friends? This iconic actress is still at it today, from her own show called Cougar Town to her role in the show Dirt. She might not get as much recognition at one of these games as Leonardo DiCaprio or Jack Nicholson, but Cox is a huge fan of the LA Lakers.
She used to frequent the games with her ex-husband, David Arquette, and they even got caught in a kiss by cameras at the game. Even though the two aren’t together anymore, you will still see Cox show up to games as she’s a true Lakers fan through and through.
Khloe Kardashian Has Dated A Baller
This Kardashian sister doesn’t need much of an introduction. We all know Khloe from Keeping Up with The Kardashians and she is the sister who loves to date athletes. She had an on-again-off-again relationship with Lamar Odom, who used to play for the Lakers. She then went out with Tristan Thompson, who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The two have a baby together but after a cheating scandal, they decided to end things.

Sarah Jessica Parker Passes It Down to Her Kids
The Sex and The City actress, Sarah Jessica Parker, married Matthew Broderick back in 1997, and they have three children together. The two are still going strong and have a shared love for baseball. However, the two do not see eye-to-eye when it comes to which teams they root for.
Broderick is a huge New York Mets fan while Parker is a dedicated fan of the New York Yankees. Back in 2015, they took their son James to one of the games. Of course, James had to choose a side to root for and sported a New York Mets T-shirt. It seems like he is taking after his father.
Jenna Fischer Stands with The Dodgers
Jenna Fischer is well-known for her role as Pam in The Office. Not only is she a huge sports fan, but she has more than one favorite sport. When it comes to football season, she chooses to root for the Dallas Cowboys. Then when baseball season comes around, she stands with her favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals.
Not only does she enjoy watching different sports, she regularly takes part in the MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Games.

So to walk out as a player is pretty mind-blowing.”
Jennifer Lopez Performed at Super Bowl 2020
Jennifer Lopez is currently married to the former New York Yankees baseball player Alex Rodriguez. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to hear that she is a fan of baseball. Not only is she a huge Yankees fan, but she is actually a co-owner of the Miami Dolphins.

She is also rumored to be a fan of the Oakland Raiders as well, so she isn’t only into basketball. You know that Alba is a die-hard fan because she was into the Warriors long before they even had Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson.

In 2018, a fan came up to her to take a selfie and ended up turning the conversation into something more political. Judd also had an issue with a Chick-fil-A ad promoting the game and a lot of the Kentucky fans took to Twitter to try and keep her away from the games.
Jessie James Decker Performed The National Anthem
Country stars seem to love sports and Jessie James Decker is no different. She took her love for the Denver Broncos to the next level and married one of the players.

Carrie Underwood, The New Face of Sunday Night Football
Another country music artist married to an athlete is Carrie Underwood. Underwood married Mike Fisher, a former Nashville Predators team member, and frequented his games often. But Underwood is more of a football fan, more specifically, a Dallas Cowboys fan.
In an interview with Country Weekly, she said, “I grew up a 100 percent Cowboys fan. My room was blue and gray, and I had Cowboys pillows and posters of Troy Aikman on my wall- he’s an Oklahoma boy! So, they were my favorite.” Underwood has also gotten the privilege of throwing out the first pitch for the New York Yankees.

For one game, she wore a Louis Vuitton bag shaped like a football and also has a white cricket uniform that she wore to a game once.
One thing that you won’t see the star without is a glass of wine or a pint of beer in her hand. Rihanna likes to get into the game as well and is known for heckling Kevin Durant during a game in 2017. He definitely noticed and was staring her down during the game.

She is also married to Justin Verlander, who was then a team member of the Detroit Tigers and now plays for the Houston Astros. So, of course, Upton goes to many games.
She was always a supporter of the New York Yankees but switched teams when she met her husband, and again when he changed teams. At one point, she mentioned, “My Boyfriend plays for the Tigers, I had to pick a side. And I felt it too when I walked in. The Yankees told me, ‘You’re not allowed to wear a Tigers hat. You’re not allowed to wear any Tigers gear.’ It’s like a bad breakup.”
Maria Menounos Fought With Jack Nicholson

When Knightley did Bend It Like Beckham, she and Parminder Nagra did their own soccer playing. The director put them into three months of serious training, and they did really well. They did both get injured multiple times, but that didn’t stop them from getting good enough to not need stunt doubles.
Demi Lovato Sang at The Super Bowl
Demi Lovato is a serious Dallas Cowboys fan. Lovato’s mother was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader herself, which is obviously why this is her team.

She has gotten married since they broke up. While he isn’t a basketball player, she is now married to Peter Palandjian, who was a college and professional tennis player before becoming a businessman. Dushku is originally from Boston, so it’s no surprise that she’s still a Celtics fan.
