I refer to all as in "favourite to watch".
most favourite:
1.
rugby (union) (world cup, six nations, ex-tri nations, domestic and continental competitions)
2.
biathlon (men's and women's, my favourite sport to watch since childhood, together with rugby)
3.
football (soccer) (men's only, I watch the world cup and euro and sometimes some local derby in my region, otherwise I rarely watch champions' league for example, I have no favourite among the big clubs, they're corporations in my opinion)
4.
handball (women's only)
5.
ice hockey (world cup, national team in its inferior league, rarely club competitions)
6.
american football (a bit too fragmented but NFL is definitely interesting to watch - I'd watch a random american football game rather than a random soccer game, soccer tends to be very boring outside world cup or local derbies, although as a sport I still like soccer overall over american football)
other nice ones:
7.
sumo (I grew up watching Akebono, Musashimaru, Asashoryu, Takanohana)
8.
beach volleyball (women's only
)
9.
rowing / kayak / canoe
10.
tennis (women's mostly, grand slams if my favourite players play, otherwise not much interested, I overall rarely watch it, maybe 3-4 matches a year)
11.
curling (I rarely get to watch it, once every couple of years, but I still like it better than the sports that you don't see listed on here and I never watch)
