THE UK GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL SHOW 2027

Bigger. Better. Bolder.

5 & 6 June 2027 | CBS Arena, Coventry

​

Following the success of our inaugural event, The UK Grassroots Football Show returns in 2027 for our biggest and most ambitious celebration of the grassroots game yet.

This is where grassroots football comes together.

​

Players. Parents. Coaches. Clubs. Volunteers. County FAs. Football businesses. Brands. Legends. Innovators. Educators. And everyone who gives their time and passion to make the game happen every week.

​

Whether you're taking your first steps in football, running a grassroots team, developing the next generation, working in the game or simply love football — there's a place for you here.

MORE THAN A FOOTBALL SHOW

2027 will bring together football, fun, education, entertainment and innovation across one extraordinary weekend.

Get ready to:

⚽ PLAY — take part in tournaments, small-sided football, skills challenges and interactive experiences.

🏆 COMPETE — with a programme of grassroots tournaments building towards finals at the show, supported by our partnership with Powerleague.

🎯 LEARN — coaching workshops, development sessions, seminars and insight from people working across the game.

🎮 EXPERIENCE — football technology, gaming, innovation and interactive zones designed to get you involved.

⭐ MEET THE GAME — football legends, managers, broadcasters and special guests through live interviews, Q&As, meet & greets and photo opportunities.

🤝 CONNECT — meet clubs, coaches, County FAs, football organisations, businesses, brands and people who share your passion for grassroots football.

❤️ CELEBRATE THE COMMUNITY — recognising the parents, coaches, volunteers and clubs who are the heartbeat of the grassroots game.

A JOURNEY TO ONE NATIONAL CELEBRATION

And it doesn't begin when the doors open in Coventry.

Through our partnership with Powerleague, grassroots tournaments and activations will build towards the main event, with tournament finals taking place live at the show. The partnership gives the event a footprint beyond one weekend and connects it with Powerleague's nationwide grassroots audience.

This isn't just one weekend. It's a journey that culminates in one national celebration of grassroots football.

FOR THE WHOLE GAME

Grassroots football belongs to everyone.

Our 2027 show will celebrate boys, girls, men and women, with experiences for players of different ages and every part of the football community.

We'll also place a special spotlight on the continued growth of the women's and girls' game, creating opportunities to play, learn, connect and be inspired.

BUILDING ON SOMETHING SPECIAL

Our inaugural show welcomed 3,000+ attendees, involved 150 teams, featured 50 exhibitors, 25 guest speakers, 14 coaching sessions and 20 educational seminars. The event achieved a combined social reach of 6.5 million in the eight-month campaign and secured live Sky Sports interviews.

Now we're taking the next step.

A bigger venue.
More football.
More experiences.
More opportunities.
One grassroots community.

BE THERE. BE PART OF IT.

Whether you want to play, coach, learn, exhibit, partner, network, discover or simply enjoy an unforgettable weekend of football,
