Abstract: Abstract Big data and data analytics are two buzzwords that not only are frequently heard in the context of the digital transformation of society but also are becoming increasingly common in sports. This study demonstrates the changes caused by the use of technologies in the context of big data and sports analytics on the basis of a systematic literature review (SLR) in professional football. Moreover, we analyze to what extent their use has changed and will continue to change the strategies of professional football clubs and their stakeholders. Our results show that big data and sports analytics have become important tools in professional football and can increase the competitiveness of professional football clubs. Nevertheless, our SLR also shows that new technologies have risk potentials for different stakeholder groups.
