Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the methodological tendencies of accounting finance themed articles published in Turkish in the field of sports economics in scientific journals in the DERGIPARK system and open to access between 2005 and 2020. Method: In this context, while the study was carried out with the qualitative research method, the case study pattern was used in this process and the analyzes were carried out with the content analysis method. Findings: In 43 studies examined, it was not determined which research method and pattern were used in almost all of the articles. It was determined that more than half of the studies were studied with the entire universe (sports clubs) rather than choosing samples, and it was determined that document analysis was preferred as a data collection tool. Because the studies can be said to be based on the examination and evaluation of the financial statements of sports clubs. In analysis of the data, it is seen that along with financial analysis methods, such as ANOVA, Regression and TOPSIS are used. Conclusion: It can be said that the methodological structures of the studies conducted in the field of sports economy are incomplete and inadequate, methodological fictions are not conveyed clearly and clearly, especially when compared to other fields, scientific research methods and techniques cannot be used effectively. It can be said that the methodological structures of the studies on sports economics are weak, especially when compared to the methodological studies in the fields of education, social and science. In order to strengthen the qualitative structure of the literature, it is essential to use scientific research methods more effectively. In this context, it is expected that this research will provide more comprehensive and descriptive information in the field of sports sciences in future studies.
