TGG Live 2026

The annual conference for insights, ideas and networking.

September 29th—30th, 2026

Old Trafford, Manchester

Overview

TGG Live has become a key fixture in the football calendar, drawing hundreds of senior delegates from dozens of top clubs and federations, all eager to discover the latest innovations in football and beyond.

In the words of former Leeds United and Sevilla Sporting Director Victor Orta, TGG is “a reference for professionals in football,” and TGG Live brings together the biggest names from our podcast, webinars and articles for live, unmissable sessions.

Following the success of TGG Live 2025 at Old Trafford – our biggest event to date, with more than 450 delegates, 35 elite speakers and 15 sponsors – we are delighted to once again be returning to the iconic home of Manchester United for TGG Live 2026.

Expect high-profile speakers from elite clubs and federations, plus cross-industry experts from other sports and sectors. We are introducing specialist break-out sessions, allowing delegates to deep-dive into their areas of expertise for greater depth and practical takeaways, alongside enhanced networking opportunities throughout both days.

Day One concludes with an exclusive networking dinner at Old Trafford, now also featuring the TGG Awards, to celebrate stand-out contributions and creating a celebratory highlight for delegates, speakers and sponsors.

A range of sponsorship packages are available, each designed to position your company as an integral part of this premier, industry-leading event, which delivers access, visibility and connections that other conferences simply can’t match.
