New Strava sports in 2026 — and how to make them look better in the feed

In 2026 Strava expanded its supported activity types to include Padel, Basketball, Volleyball, Cricket and Dance — alongside more than 50 existing sports. That is great for tracking. The post in the feed still does not show what mattered.

Why this matters

Adding a sport type means it now counts in weekly totals, fits in clubs and challenges, and stops being mis-categorised as 'Workout'. It is real recognition that Strava's audience plays more than running and cycling.

What still looks generic

The activity post in the feed is still mostly a title and a duration. Padel scores, basketball game results, volleyball sets, cricket innings and dance class details are not native fields.

How UPPOST helps

UPPOST adds the missing layer: a sport-specific visual recap and caption you can attach as the cover photo, so the feed shows what actually happened.

Supported UPPOST sports

Padel, tennis, pickleball, HYROX, strength, diving, skydiving, golf, paragliding, CrossFit, basketball, volleyball, beach volleyball, dance, ice hockey.
