Abstract: The digital economy is a new driving force for high-quality economic development and a new engine for high-quality development of sports industry. Based on the panel data of 20 provinces (municipalities) in China from 2013 to 2020, this paper empirically tests the impact and mechanism of digital economy on the high-quality development of sports industry. The impact results show that (1) the digital economy can significantly drive the high-quality development of sports industry, and this conclusion is still valid after the robustness test of instrumental variables and alternative variables; (2) The results show that the digital economy can drive the high-quality development of sports industry through the expansion of Internet applications; (3) Heterogeneity analysis shows that digital economy has a positive driving effect on the high-quality development of sports industry in both eastern and central regions. Further analysis shows that the driving effect in eastern region is stronger than that in central region. Based on the above results, the following suggestions are put forward: (1) Continue to deepen digital construction and fully release the development dividends of digital economy; (2) Vigorously promote the application of the Internet to create a scientific and technological environment for the high-quality development of sports industry; (3) Improve the level of technological innovation and open up the way of high-quality development and innovation of sports industry; (4) Promote the construction of digital economy according to local conditions and eliminate the polarization effect of digital economy between regions.
