UK Sport has been commissioned by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to carry out an initial strategic assessment examining whether the UK could host an Olympic and Paralympic Games in the North of England during the 2040s.
UK Sport is the lead government agency for major sporting events at the UK level. We work closely with our sporting and hosting partners to ensure that the UK successfully bids for and stages a range of the world’s biggest international sporting events.
We believe that London 2012 was one of the greatest moments in our nation’s history and welcome the Government’s interest in bringing the Olympic and Paralympic Games back to the UK in the 2040s.
UK Sport will be conducting a rigorous initial strategic assessment in the coming months.
