Several studies have explored the mechanism in increasing sports engagement. However, the underlying dynamics that drive engagement in sports remain a subject of ongoing investigations. This study aimed to delve deeper into the intricate relationship between passion and student athletes’ engagement in sports. A total of 408 student athletes aged from 18–27 years old (Mage= 20.93 years, SD= 2.09) completed the questionnaire packet. The sample was composed of 37.07% male athletes (n=139) and 65.93% female athletes (n=269). Measures in the study include Sports Passion Scale (SPS) and Athletic Engagement Questionnaire (AEQ). Ethical approval was gained from the participants. The findings reveal a direct and significant relationship between passion and athletes’ engagement in sports. These results highlight that passion shown by student athletes is a factor that determines a high level of engagement in sports among student-athletes. The interaction between passion and engagement highlights the need to establish a conducive atmosphere that fosters athletes’ interest in their sport, resulting in increased involvement in sports
