Football
Burnaby are well represented in the BC Football League by Burnaby Albion FC, playing at Swangard Stadium in Central Park, with a capacity of 15,288; they are one of the handful of "elite" clubs who have never been relegated from the Football League since its founding in 1929. They won the Division One Championship once, in 1992 (in which year they won the League and Cup double), the Division Two championship five times, and the Division Three championship once. Albion have reached the Final of the BC FA Cup seven times, winning it on six of those occasions - 1946, 1952, 1955, 1970, 1992, and 2000, and losing only once, in 1997.

The amateur Burnaby Hydro SC were established in 1961 as the corporate sports club of BC Hydro. The club's football section play at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex; this has a capacity of 7,348, but seldom do Hydro's matches attract more than a few hundred spectators. The club's record attendance is 3,854, set in the second round of the 1971 BC FA Cup, in which the amateur Hydro side pulled off a stunning 2:1 extra-time victory over Division Two side Merritt City; unfortunately, they were eliminated in the third round after a 0:2 away loss at Kimberley Town. For the first thirty years of its existence, the club has declined to participate in the Division Three Qualification Competition; in 1992 they did take part, but failed to earn promotion, so the club has never appeared in the Football League. They have, however, made four appearances in the First Round of the FA Cup - thrice consecutively from 1969 BC FA Cup through 1971, and once in 1992. Twice they were eliminated in the first round, but reached the second round in 1970 and the third in 1971.

Burnaby Hydro WSC are the only women's football club playing within the pyramid of the Women's Football League, but there are a number of "Sunday league" sides playing around the city in neighbourhood competitions.

Hockey
The Burnaby Thunderbirds of the British Columbia Hockey League play at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre, which has a capacity of 8,488 spectators.

Rugby
Burnaby has two professional rugby clubs competing in the British Columbia Rugby Union: Lake City RFC, who play at Charles Rummel Park (capacity 6,102), and Burnaby Lake RFC, whose home is the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex. Burnaby Lake are the only Burnaby-based club to have won the Rounsefell Cup, having won it once, in 1949.
