Sports Sector Payment Performance: Marginal Improvement from 73.9 to 74.7 Out of 100, 2020-2025

The Comparison

Here's a look at the payment performance data of companies in the sports sector:

• 2020: A sample of 20 companies revealed an average payment score of 73.9 out of 100.
• 2025: A more recent analysis, involving 12 companies, indicates a slightly improved average payment score of 74.7 out of 100.

What This Means

While the sector has seen a slight uptick in payment performance, the increase of 0.8 points over five years is essentially flat. This suggests existing payment practices are not shifting significantly within the industry, although the reduced sample size in 2025 compared to 2020 warrants some caution in interpreting the change. Calculating the cost of late payments is possible, and businesses can use a late payment calculator for more precise analysis.

In 2025, the average payment score in the sports sector stood at 74.7/100, up from 73.9/100 five years prior.
