This article explores the linguocultural and stylistic dimensions of sports discourse in English and Uzbek. Sports discourse is an important communicative sphere that reflects cultural values, national identity, social attitudes, and linguistic creativity. The study examines the linguistic features, stylistic devices, and cultural elements present in sports-related communication in both languages. Through a comparative analysis, similarities and differences in the use of metaphors, phraseological units, emotional expressions, and media language are identified. The findings demonstrate that sports discourse serves not only as a medium of information but also as a reflection of cultural traditions and social values in English-speaking and Uzbek-speaking communities.
