The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between communication skills and problem-solving skills, according to individual and team sports, of students studying sports sciences. Sampling was conducted in Istanbul in the academic year 2018–2019. Four universities, 2 of them being foundation and 2 being state, were included with a total of 403 students (142 women and 261 men) participating in the study. For data analysis of the research, normality test was performed, and non-parametric tests were applied in accordance with the results. Mann–Whitney U test, which was applied according to the grade variable, found that third-grade students who were doing individual and team sports, showed a significant difference between sub-dimensions of emotional communication and behavioral communication. According to the results, emotional and behavioral communication values of third-grade students who were doing individual sports were higher than those involved in team sports. In second-grade students, higher results in thinking and planned approach were observed in those who were doing team sports than those who were doing individual sports.
