That's a wrap on the ! 🙌

From 3rd - 6th September 2026, young athletes from across the UK came together at Loughborough University for four days of high-quality, multi-sport competition. 🏆

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the School Games National Finals brought together talented young people across a range of sports, this year with a focus on helping young people recognise what they gain from participating in sport, not just what they achieve by winning. 🏅

Watch the 2026 highlights and celebrate the athletes, volunteers, coaches and everyone who helped make this year’s School Games National Finals so special. 👏

Take a look behind the scenes at the School Games National Finals 2026 and discover what it’s like to volunteer at one of the UK’s biggest school sport events. 🙌

Our volunteers supported the sports, athletes and event teams throughout the games, helping create an unforgettable experience for young people taking part. 🏆

Alongside their volunteering roles, our young volunteers also had the chance to develop their media skills. Through dedicated media workshops, they learned how to interview athletes, create video content and tell the stories of the School Games National Finals from behind the scenes. ❤️

The experience gave young people the chance to build confidence, develop new skills and play an important role in making the School Games National Finals happen. 🏃‍➡️
