To get the leg strap for Nintendo Switch Sports, you will need to purchase the game's physical version. This accessory will be included in the box with the game's cartridge. If you purchase Nintendo Switch Sports digitally, you will not get the leg strap.

While not officially confirmed, the leg strap looks very similar to the one included with Ring Fit Adventure. You may be able to use this leg strap in Nintendo Switch Sports if you already have it. You can also purchase resold and third-party leg straps, but your mileage may vary with these.
