Abstract: Application of new methodologies at Spanish universities is essential to improve the teaching–learning process, although their implementation for the initial training of students is not common. The aim of this study was to use the flipped classroom (FC) methodology in the sports management area of the bachelor’s degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences (DPASS). Students ( n = 370) from private ( n = 284) and public ( n = 86) universities participated in different activities, ending with the completion of a survey in which the impact of an FC was analysed in three dimensions: (1) interaction, (2) learning, and (3) methodology and resources. The results show significant differences concerning ownership (private universities are more highly rated than public universities). In terms of gender (with no significant differences), the female students had a better perception of the FC. The most highly valued aspects in the dimensions were as follows: (1) they are more likely to collaborate with their classmates (3.95 + 1.05); (2) learning is more active and experiential (3.69 + 0.86); and (3) with an FC, they spent more time than in other subjects. The most used device was laptop (68.4%). This pioneering study is of relevance to faculty members in the field of sports as it enhances students’ engagement with their learning development.
