Abstract	Everyday stress, happiness, health status and individual characteristics affect life satisfaction, which, in turn, affect some other factors. Therefore, high life satisfaction in academics affects their academic performance positively. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between sports science academics' life satisfaction and academic performance. Study sample consisted of 188 male and 151 female sports science academics working in different regions. Data were collected using the "Contentment with Life Assessment Scale" (CLAS) developed by Lavallee, Hatch, Michalos & McKinley (2007), and adapted to Turkish language by Akin and Yilmaz (2015), and the "Perceived Academic Performance Scale" developed by Gür (2017). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA), Tukey multiple comparison test and correlation test. Results show that male academics have better academic performance than female academics. Results show no statistically significant relationship between life satisfaction and academic performance.
