With over 1000 grassroots teams and 10,000 ballers participating, ESF26 is the biggest youth football festival in the UK! Registration for 2026 is now open and hundreds of grassroots teams from all over the UK are already booked to join us on tour for the ultimate weekend of Football & Fun!
ESF26 is a series of professionally organised youth football festivals that bring grassroots teams together for a fantastic touring experience. Teams are accommodated at Butlin’s & Haven award winning resorts, so when the football finishes, the fun continues! Spectacular presentation ceremonies close each festival, with VIP guests, medals to every child and some of the finest team trophies you’ll ever see. ESF26 then culminates with our champions event, the ESF Grand Finale at St George’s Park!
The experience of being away together on tour is as important as the football itself for many teams – there’s no better way to boost team morale. ESF is staged at the Butlin’s and Haven award winning resorts, which offer fantastic facilities and entertainment for our teams on tour.
Our spectacular presentation ceremonies are the perfect way to close each festival. VIP guests have included Emmanuel Petit, Jermain Defoe, Jordan Nobbs, John Barnes, Sue Smith, Ian Wright, Robert Pires, Casey Stoney, Paul Merson and more. Each team get their moment of glory on the big stage, where every child meets our VIP guest and receives a custom ESF26 medal to mark the occasion.
Win your age section while on tour at ESF26 at Butlin’s to qualify for the ESF Grand Finale, our Champion of Champions event. The ESF Grand Finale is staged at the home of England’s National teams – St Georges Park!
