The thermodynamics-gravity conjecture reveals that one can derive the gravitational field equations by using the first law of thermodynamics and vice versa. Considering the entropy associated with the horizon in the form of non-extensive Tsallis entropy, S ∼ Aβ here, we first derive the corresponding gravitational field equations by applying the Clausius relation δQ = TδS to the horizon. We then construct the Friedmann equations of Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker Universe based on Tsallis modified gravity (TMG). Moreover, in order to constrain the cosmological parameters of TMG model, we use observational data, including Planck cosmic microwave background, weak lensing, supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations, and redshift-space distortions data. Numerical results indicate that TMG model with a quintessential dark energy is more compatible with the low redshift measurements of large scale structures by predicting a lower value for the structure growth parameter σ8 with respect to ΛCDM model. This implies that TMG model would slightly alleviate the σ8 tension.
