International event hosting opportunities
This is a live and dynamic list of secured events and future hosting opportunities. The list covers significant itinerant international events (rather than annual international events based in the UK) and which have been discussed with UK Sport as events that are of interest to host.
All event hosting opportunities identified here remain subject to further discussions between partners, potentially including detailed feasibility work. It is therefore possible, and indeed likely, that some of the events on this list will not progress to bid stage.
Future hosting strategies are constantly being reviewed by partners in the UK, and as a result some sports/disciplines/events that might be expected to appear on this list may be missing as they complete those reviews.
