I want to upgrade from my Canon 80D to a mirrorless camera, and I am trying to decide between the R7 and R8. I mainly use my camera for sports, primarily football. For now, I plan to use my Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 and Tamron EF 70-200mm f/2.8 with a lens adapter until I have the funds to get RF lenses.

To me when shooting sports, image stabilization and weather sealing are musts. The R7 has these, whereas I believe that the R8 does not But if you can swing it, the R6 MarkII would be better with it's lower light capabilities.
You would have to check if your lens and the body stabilization work together, if they do it is a great advantage.
