Abstract: The World Philosophy Congress (WCP) is the most influential academic conference in the field of international philosophy. The topic of "Sports Philosophy" is an important part of previous conferences. Through text analysis, the study points out that the "Sports Philosophy" topics of the last three World Philosophy Congresses have five major characteristics: sports philosophy topics accounts for a relatively small proportion, the International Sports Philosophy Association attaches importance, sports philosophy research topics are diverse, and Chinese scholars have begun to air their voices. The current international sports philosophy research presents a diversified trend, and the research focus is on three main aspects: sports ethics, sports meaning, and game philosophy, of which sports ethics receives the highest attention. The international sports philosophy research presents the development trend that denotation extends continuously and connotation returns gradually. The research on sports ontology, methodology and human social attributes presents a return trend, and is valued by sports philosophy researchers.
