About this sound

A short SportsCenter Top 10 theme sting from ESPN's highlight countdown, used to introduce ranked plays, sports edits, recap videos, and standout moments.

The SportsCenter Top 10 clip is a brief broadcast-style musical sting tied to the show's ranked highlight segment. It has a fast, polished buildup and a decisive finish, creating the feeling that an important play is about to be revealed. Because it lasts only a few seconds, it works as an instant transition rather than background music. The cue adds anticipation and a familiar sports-broadcast tone, helping viewers read the next shot as a ranked play, a standout moment, or the start of a countdown.

Pro tip

Place the sting immediately before revealing your number-one play or opening a ranked highlight reel. Pair its finish with a hard cut, score graphic, or crowd cheering, and avoid looping it beneath commentary.
