The aim of this research was to present a paradigmatic model of social networks in creating sports businesses and providing a paradigmatic model. This research was fundamental in terms of purpose and exploratory in terms of data collection using grounded theory method. The data collection tool was semi-structured in-depth interviews. The statistical population included experts, professors, managers, business owners, entrepreneurs and consultants in the sports industry and purposeful sampling method with snowballing technique was used. The collected data were analyzed using open, axial and selective coding and the final pattern was extracted. The final model consisted of the sum of the necessary conditions (2 categories), contextual condition (3 categories), strategies (4 categories), interfering variables (2 categories), consequences (2 categories) and the axial coding (2 categories) of the impact of social networks on creating sports businesses. In order to assess the reliability and quality control of the present study, Cohen's Kappa method was used. The calculated Kappa coefficient was 0.776, which was at an acceptable level of agreement. In order to establish and launch businesses in the country's sports, providing appropriate infrastructure and conditions for social networks can be one of the effective ways to stimulate business situation in the country's sports.
