// The Summit
Stamford Bridge, London
7 – 8 October 2026
A platform for progress; Leaders Week London puts the business of women’s sport at the centre of the conversation, where connections lead to outcomes.
In partnership with Women In Football & the Women’s Sport Collective
As part of our Be The Lead Initiative; Leaders’ partnership with Women in Football and the Women’s Sport Collective returns for 2026, providing funded places for women in the sports industry and helping more women access the networks, learning and opportunities that move careers forward.
Applications are open to all women working in the professional sports industry. Leaders Week London is designed to bring together senior leaders from across the entire ecosystem of global sport, creating opportunities for networking, learning, and collaboration.
Attending Leaders Week London was a fantastic experience. The programme was incredibly rich, with a wide range of sessions and speakers, and I particularly valued hearing from industry leaders about the current landscape and future challenges. Most impactful were the connections I made, which have lasted well beyond the event and helped me feel part of the wider sports community.”

A new, open-access space in the centre of the Summit. Designed for those shaping the strategy, commercial direction and future of women’s sport. Offering across both days:
• Drop in appearances and live discussions with leading voices, from CEOs and CMOs to athletes and investors.
• Space to collaborate and share experiences, tailored for the unique challenges of women’s sports.
• The chance to connect with like-minded peers and build real relationships.
The 2025 Summit experience began with the global community advancing women in sport coming together at the Women in Sport Breakfast. A now-established staple of Leaders Week, the event set the tone for the days ahead, bringing together leaders from across the sports ecosystem in a relaxed networking environment, united by a shared mission to drive opportunity, equity and growth in women’s sport.
At Leaders Week London, women’s sport takes centre stage as part of the main agenda, not a side conversation. Across the Headline, Creative, and Tech & Innovation stages, conversations explore key topics including brand investment, athlete influence, media rights, and commercial growth.
Previous attendees heard insights from global leaders, including Ally Financial CMO Andrea Brimmer, alongside a live edition of The Game Changers with Baroness Sue Campbell. This was where the real business of women’s sport got done.
