A particular niche that's a cornerstone of sports media on TikTok is the world of edit culture. Talented users put together short-form videos of their favorite players and teams to a hype song, hoping to catch the attention of viewers scrolling by.
Whether they're targeting NFL, NBA, MLB or college sports fans, these edits can reach millions on the app and garner staggering numbers of likes and views. Even better, they bring more hype to the game.
Here are some examples of edits and how they're drawing eyes to your favorite sports.
