The series contains 7 short films that each focus on a different sport and humorous events surrounding it. The films are all of a similar length, averaging around five minutes each.

Release history
The copyright in the credits of the series is listed as 1986 and it is possible that it was released in this year, but it is usually cited as being first released on VHS in 1987. It was licensed to various companies for distribution in multiple countries. It saw later releases in 1989, 1994, 1998 and likely in other years, usually under different titles including LEGO Stories, LEGO Sportschau, Sportsnytt: De Olympiske LEGO Leker, and LEGO Action Fun. It is unclear what the name of the very first release was, and it is likely that it wasn't LEGO Sport Champions. The 1994 Norwegian release lists the original title as LEGO Sports Films. The earliest confirmed use of the LEGO Sport Champions name is on a 1994 VHS release from Canada.

The films have also appeared on television, and were available on Comcast on Demand.
