This summer of sport, every child deserves to feel part of the action
National School Sports Week 2026 invites schools, families and communities across the UK to get moving together, inspired by a landmark year of global sport and the everyday moments of encouragement that happen in playgrounds, classrooms and communities.
While Everlast and National School Sports Week Ambassador Conor Benn bring a focus on fitness, confidence and mindset, the campaign celebrates all sports, all movement and all young people. From playground games to global sporting moments, together we’ll help every child find their rhythm, build healthy habits and enjoy being active.
