Business of Football Summit

The Business of Football Summit returns in 2026 for its eighth edition to further explore the most effective models for growth in a complex investment environment marked by tightening regulations, high operating costs, revenue diversification, and possible but uncertain paths to profit.

Join leading investors, club and league executives, regulators, broadcasters and tech innovators to discuss these issues and much more, including the upcoming FIFA World Cup, the further development of women's football, and the continuing impact of technology on fan engagement and the valuation of players. They will share their insights in discussion with FT journalists and virtually before a global audience.
