If you work in sport for good, the Fair Game UK Conference 2026 is where the sector shows up.

Taking place on 24-25 March in Manchester, the conference has become the UK’s leading forum for debate and action on fairness, governance and social impact in football. Demand is already strong, with Day One close to selling out and tickets starting from £50 per day.

Across two days, the conference will unveil major new reports on ownership transparency, football’s social impact, and fairer financial distribution. The programme combines high-profile panels with substance, including sessions on Hillsborough’s legacy, sportswashing, gambling reform and the future independent football regulator.

Alongside the main stage discussions, delegates can take part in 15 interactive, 90-minute workshops designed for practical problem-solving rather than passive listening. Topics range from diversity and accessibility to community foundations, grassroots growth, online harms and football’s climate impact.

The event concludes with Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram, reflecting the growing political momentum behind reform and the role football can play in driving positive social change.

Places are limited, and interest is high. Book now to be part of shaping football’s future.
