This article analyzes the legal nature, types, and practical significance of mixed and innominate contracts in the field of sports. In modern sports relations, alongside traditional contractual forms, agreements that combine elements of several contract types, as well as contracts not expressly named in civil legislation, are widely used. The article examines the application of such contracts through examples involving athletes, coaches, sports clubs, federations, sponsors, and agents. Particular attention is paid to the principle of freedom of contract, legislative requirements, and legal risks arising in the conclusion and execution of mixed and innominate contracts in sports activities. The study demonstrates that these contractual forms play an important role in regulating complex and dynamic sports relations.
