Siblings Day: The Most Iconic Sibling-Athletes in Sports
Fact Checked by Pat McLoone

There aren’t many calls to action that work out better in the long run than a good sibling rivalry, whether it be your mundane game of pickup basketball in the driveway or in the whirlwind of professional athletics.

Based on the litany of famous athletes who have siblings pro sports, it seems like that call to action must be working.

National Siblings Day is on April 10. To celebrate, BetMichigan.com took a break from covering Michigan sports betting and decided to investigate the most famous sibling-athletes in sports. 

Using Semrush total combined search volume between Feb. 28–March 28, 2024, we found that the NFL brothers, Travis and Jason Kelce, are the most famous with a search volume of 4,400,000. Here are the results.

Jim Harbaugh is back in the NFL with the Los Angeles Chargers with his brother John, who has coached the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens since 2008.
