{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Research has suggested that applying the Sport Education Model (SEM) in Physical Education (PE) increases students' motivation. However, it is important to systematize this evidence to have a clearer idea. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the impact of the SEM on the students' motivation.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>A systematic review with a narrative synthesis was performed. In March 2021, an articles search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Eligibility criteria were: longitudinal or experimental study design; outcomes included PE settings; results reported the relationship between the SEM and students' motivation.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Fourteen studies were included, totaling 2146 students. The majority of the studies indicated a significant association between the SEM and motivation, particularly in autonomy and more enjoyment toward PE.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>This review supports that the SEM has a positive impact on motivation. The SEM offers a wide range of opportunities for students to develop more self-determined motivated behavior in PE classes. Therefore, the SEM should be considered when developing or adapting existing PE programs to promote students' intrinsic motivation to engage in physical activity.
