UAEBybit delists SPORTFUNUSDT Perpetual Contract
Bybit will delist the SPORTFUNUSDT Perpetual Contract on October 16, 2026 at 9:00 AM UTC, ending trading support for the SPORTFUN perpetual market on the exchange. The event is confirmed by an official Bybit announcement.
What is happening
According to Bybit's announcement, the SPORTFUNUSDT Perpetual Contract will be delisted and trading in it will no longer be supported once the scheduled time arrives. The delisting is set for 9:00 AM UTC on October 16, 2026.
At the time of delisting, all active orders and conditional orders for the contract will be canceled automatically. Any positions still open will be closed automatically by the exchange. The closing price will be based on the average index price over the 30 minutes before the delisting.
The contract will also lose support in other Bybit products. It will no longer be available on Trading Bots, and all unfilled SPORTFUNUSDT orders in Copy Trading will be canceled automatically. Bybit directs users with questions to its Customer Support.
Why it matters
For traders holding SPORTFUNUSDT perpetual positions, the key point is that positions not closed by the user before the deadline will be closed by the exchange at a price derived from the average index price of the final 30 minutes. That price may differ from the market price at the moment of closure, so those with open exposure may want to review their positions and orders ahead of the cutoff. Users running Trading Bots or following Copy Trading strategies on this contract should also note that these will stop working for the pair.
The announcement concerns only the perpetual contract on Bybit. It does not describe any change to the SPORTFUN token itself or to other markets, and the source does not give a reason for the delisting. Exchange delistings of derivatives contracts can reduce the venues and instruments available for trading an asset, which is relevant for those who used this contract for hedging or speculation.
