* ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' has Kolhii, a cross between hockey and lacrosse that can be played with 2-5 teams. Teams consist of a goalie and 2-5 other players, whose job is to chase the ball and score goals. The equipment used during play is known as a Kolhii Stick - a wooden pole with a hammerhead on one end (for striking the ball) and a scoop on the other end (for catching or throwing the ball). Goalies are also allowed to use a shield. [[AllThereInTheManual Supplementary material]] states that Kolhii can be played with multiple balls, so long as the number of balls is smaller than the number of teams or the number of players per team, whichever is the smaller number. Interestingly enough, Kolhii seems to operate purely on a "whichever team reaches the predetermined number of goals first wins" basis with no time limit, as the Kolhii match seen in TheMovie goes on for long enough that it starts during the day and doesn't end until after nightfall.

* WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil has Cornball. The rules on how to play and score are [[CalvinBall quite fuzzy]] though.

* Zero Gee Football, as followed by Dave Lister of ''Series/RedDwarf''. Appears to be a form of grid-iron football played in a closed dome (Jim Bexley Speed apparently plays "roof attack" and appears on a poster over Lister's bunk looking something like the San Diego Chargers uniform).

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS5E137Number12LooksJustLikeYou Number 12 Looks Just Like You]]", Marilyn Cuberle mentions electronic baseball and super soccer.

* ''Literature/AllForTheGame'' is primarily a SportsStory about Exy. The book says of it: "Exy was a bastard sport, an evolved sort of lacrosse on a soccer-sized court with the violence of ice hockey."

* ''Literature/AllForTheGame'' is primarily a SportsStory about Exy, which is like a combination of lacrosse and hockey.

** Also Ailini, played by throwing disks through hoops, while simultaneously sliding on disks on a shifting field.

* ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' has Kolhii -- a cross between hockey and lacrosse that can be played with two or three teams. Also Ailini, played by throwing disks through hoops, while simultaneously sliding on disks on a shifting field.

* In ''LightNovel/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool'', "magisports" receive a great deal of focus and patronage because they are essentially the only time young magicians are allowed to ''use'' their powers.

* ''Comicbook/2000AD'':

* Shuggy from ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' is a futuristic spin on billiards where the biggest difference is that the table has ten different holes, which are actually scattered across the board on hills of different elevations. The rules are fundamentally identical to billiards; two players take turns potting balls, and when one player misses, the other player gets to take their turn. There are some variations in the rules, mostly concerning scoring, and in particular there are two known "special shots" for the game. The first is the "Ten Commandments", which is where a player pots a ball in each of the different holes without missing a single shot. The second is the nigh-impossible "Booglariser", where a player clears a fresh table with a single shot--only two people have ''ever'' pulled this off in a tournament in the history of the sport. There are also two known variant rules for Shuggy; "Southern Rules" Shuggy hails from Texas City, and is played on a longer table with 26 holes instead of the normal ten, with each pocket being both numbered and color-coded, with the highest numbered being the "bull", which sits atop the tallest hill in the center of the table. In Southern Rules, potting the single purple ball into the bull triples a player's points, and a Booglarizer that ''also'' puts the purple ball in the bull results in tripling the originally tripled score, for a whopping '''nine-fold points multiplier'''. In comparison, Luna City Shuggy style is almost blandly simple; each player gets to make one shot and then has to give the table over to the other player, regardless of if they sink any balls or not.

** Quidditch is played on {{Flying Broomstick}}s with four different balls. Each team has three Chasers, who try to put a ball called the Quaffle through one of three hoops to score ten points (while a Keeper tries to stop them), and the game continues until one team's Seeker catches the GoldenSnitch, scoring 150 points and ending the game. All the while the players evade the other two balls called Bludgers, which are like animated cannonballs, with the help of their team's Beaters, who are armed with clubs to protect their teammates and redirect the balls at the other team. Whichever side has the most points wins, although based on the rules we're given and the games we see, the team that catches the Snitch wins basically every time[[note]]One notable exception; during the World Cup in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'', the game goes on so long that Krum catches the snitch even though his team is definitely 150 points down. One can only wonder what kind of dream team the leprechauns set up if they could win by Quaffle points alone[[/note]].

*** A {{defictionalized}} version [[http://www.iqaquidditch.com/ has cropped up,]] although the rules are modified in a few ways, even beyond the obvious limitations of not having flying broomsticks. Bludgers are replaced with dodgeballs, players who are hit must tag their own teams goal posts before returning to play, and the game runs for a set time with the snitch being worth far fewer points. Plus a bunch of specifics about fouls, penalties and such are added.

* ''Webcomic/DevilsCandy'': Eggscram is unique for being a sport that uses an unborn egg of the ruling caste as a ball, and the point is to put it through as much trauma and humiliation (for the players) as possible to get the egg to hatch. Whichever team has more points when the egg hatches (or when both teams' players are deceased) wins. Scoring a touchdown earns 4 points, but doing a showboating dance afterwards will earn up to 6 points. Flying devils have a clear advantage over other players, but there's a 10-foot rule to keep the unfairness from turning into a joke.

** ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' includes the board games Kadis-kot (played weekly by Seven of Nine and Naomi Wildman) and Durotta (played by Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres). Tuvok regularly beats Harry Kim at Kal-toh, a Vulcan strategy game that "is to chess as chess is to tic-tac-toe."

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' has two shown:
** Grudgby is an even more violet version of rugby, with players using magic and the field covered in deadly traps. Somewhat of a parody of Quidditch, right down to a GoldenSnitch equivalent.
** Flyer Derby is a combination of flag football and capture the flag, with players flying around and trying to get flags off of the opposing teams staffs and returing them to their own goal. It also involves magic, though there are no traps involved since all gameplay takes place in the air.
