Vizio
The Vizio M512a-H6 may not have the catchy name of the rest of the systems here, but it more than makes up for this with stellar performance. With Dolby Atmos capability and dedicated surrounds this speaker is able to turn any sports or TV show into an event. You’re unlikely to see another Atmos soundbar this good at this price for a long time.

LG
I’ve yet to formally review the diminutive LG Eclair, but I’ve found it to have a big expansive sound from only two compact boxes. The compact subwoofer packs a punch, and the Dolby Atmos compatibility gives the system more flexibility. At $600 it’s pretty pricey, but at $400 it’s well worth a look.

If you want the full surround-sound sporting experience, you’ll want actual rear speakers. The Vizio Elevate soundbar includes rears and a subwoofer. It offers excellent sound and a bunch of useful features, including a nifty revolving speaker for Dolby Atmos effects.
