Based on the essence and characteristics of digital economy, this paper expounds the theoretical basis of digital economy to promote the transformation and upgrading of sports industry from the perspective of industrial integration, innovation and development, long tail effect, supply and demand relationship, and holds that the change of economy, policy and consumption environment is the external power to promote the high-quality development of sports industry, while technological change, industrial transformation and industrial innovation are the endogenous power of digital economy to drive the transformation and upgrading of sports industry.
