Introduction: The study aims to explore the antecedents of college athletes' behavioral intentions of COVID-19 vaccination in China based on the theory of planned behavior. Method: A quantitative approach was used to address the issue of the present study. Researchers developed the questionnaire, and purposive sampling was adopted to select respondents who are members of the varsity sports team. An online questionnaire was utilized to collect data. Descriptive analysis and structural equation modeling partial least squares were used to analyze the collected data. Results: (1) The findings indicate that college athletes' perceived attitudes, subject norms, and perceived behavior control toward COVID-19 vaccination significantly affect their behavioral intention of immunization. Attitude is the most crucial antecedent affecting college athletes' behavioral intention of immunization. The explanatory power of the model is 71.8%. Conclusion: College athletes' positive psychological status and knowledge would promote the vaccination attitude, which is the key to enhancing their vaccination behavior.
