Hi, I’m wondering which niche works well for YouTube Shorts. Also, if I were to make a Shorts video about sports, would I run into copyright issues if the video is edited?
 
1. Pick something you're knowledgeable about and enjoy doing
2. Find people who do the same niche, take inspiration and do it better than them

About the copyright issues, it can be a problem. But, try to use your own commentary/graphics instead of full highlight clips.

Shorts that work well are high-retention niches like sports reactions, finance facts, AI tools, fitness tips, and trending commentary.

For sports: yes, you can still get copyright claims even if edited. Leagues like NBA or FIFA use strict Content ID systems. Basic edits don’t make it safe — it needs to be clearly transformative (analysis, commentary, breakdown) to reduce risk.

What about tennis
 
You can also glide with trends pretty easily, (dances, tiktok challenges etc) whatever become a hit for a while.

Shorts are fast, emotional, and high-energy - and motivation fits that perfectly. Short clips about discipline, success, gym mindset, or powerful quotes tend to get strong engagement because people rewatch and share them. Especially if you combine dynamic editing, bold captions, and impactful music.
 
motivationals, facts, storytelling, reactions, and trending topics usually grow fast, sports can work too but edited clips can still get copyright claims I'd stay away from that to avoid headaches
