Tu suis la saison **sportives** ?
The adjective must agree with the singular feminine noun *saison*; use *sportive*, not the plural *sportives*.
Tu suis la saison **sport** ?
In French the adjective follows the noun and must be fully written; *sport* alone is a noun, not an adjective.

Cultural Tip
In France, the phrase often refers to the football (soccer) season, especially Ligue 1, but it can also be used for rugby, basketball, or even the Tour de France. The word *saison* implies a structured calendar of matches, so the question is usually asked during the months when the competition is active (August‑May for football).
