It entails the creating of sport’s law as a separate branch of law associated with numerous scientific researches, legal practices and professional activities of athletes, sports industry’ managers and supporters of a healthy lifestyle.

The comparative legal analysis is the leading scientific approach of this study, which allows to discover the degree of scientific development of this issue with the purpose of increasing the efficiency of legal regulation of physical education and sports. An attempt was made to present sports law as an independent branch of law, resulting from a synthesis of international and national law that regulate relations in different industries through the lenses of public and private law. The specificity of this branch of law leads to a high degree of controversy in the question of determining its features, which are properly investigated in the work. Criteria of the features of the implementation of sports law are formulated: substantive capacity, external borders with other branches of law, national characteristics and international universality.
