It depends on the usage.

In reference to specific activities "sports" is the plural of "sport".

Example: "Baseball is a sport; Basketball and football are my favorite sports."

As a category of entertainment "sports" is primarily treated as an uncountable (a.k.a. group) noun like "rice" or "advice". Uncountable nouns are treated as singular nouns for subject/verb agreement, but not for other grammar rules such as article usage.

Example: "Sports is my favorite thing to watch on TV."

In British English "sport" is used as the group noun and "sports" is typically only used as the plural of "sport".
