 In terms of sport, people in Garforth tend to follow either rugby league or association football. Although rugby is the traditional sport of the area, football is increasingly popular in Garforth, especially with the younger people.

Rugby loyalties are split between the Leeds Rhinos and the Castleford Tigers historically big clubs that are nearby.

As for football (association) supporters, there are inevitably a large number of Leeds United F.C. supporters. Locally there is also a non-league club, Garforth Town A.F.C. Brazilian football legend Sócrates was briefly a player-coach for Garforth Town at the end of 2004 and former Brazilian international CAFU signed for the club in 2008.

Garforth also has two cricket clubs.
