This text aims to expose and analyze the current state of the art of sport and specifically of American Football in the Brazilian academic scene in the field of knowledge of communication. The research was divided into four main parts, the first dealing with the areas and disciplines that permeate scientific studies related to generalized sport, without distinction of area, modality and application, followed by a focus on the area of ​​communication on the subject. For the last two parts, the focus becomes American football: how the object is approached in the field of communicational knowledge and a proposal to investigate the symbolic consumption of the sport. The passage through the construction of themes leads to the indication that American football as an object of study in communication still has less constant and consistent characteristics than studies that compete in football and sport in general, and consequently there is room for opportunities and paths of development in the scientific field.
