Current funding awards

The following tables state our UK Sport funding awards to sports for the current Olympic and Paralympic cycles, for both the summer and winter games.


For some sports the award amounts listed for the Paris cycle, may vary from any previously published figures due to underspend that has been carried forward due to the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics in 2020.

In February 2023 we also announced an uplift to Paris funding for 33 sports, which are subject to final contracting and the changes will be reflected below once this process has been completed.

The figures quoted below for each sport are exclusive of any Athlete Performance Awards (APAs), which is paid directly to the athletes and contributes to their living and sporting costs.

In addition to the funding awards below for the Paris cycle an overall £70 million has been invested in APAs and for the Milan-Cortina cycle we will invest in the region of £5 million.

All information correct as of last update: February 2023
