European Week of Sport 2025

The European Week of Sport is an annual initiative led by the European Commission to promote sport and physical activity across the continent. Returning for its tenth edition in 2025, the campaign runs from 23 to 30 September and will be celebrated in all 40 partner countries, from grassroots communities to national stages.

The theme for 2025 is “Move More, Scroll Less”, highlighting the need to reduce sedentary behaviour, especially linked to digital device use, and encourage healthier, more active lifestyles.

Why Attend/Participate

• Inclusive approach: Designed for everyone, regardless of age, background or fitness level.
• Pan-European reach: Activities take place simultaneously across all participating countries, uniting schools, workplaces, sports clubs and communities.
• Focus on wellbeing: Promotes the physical, mental and social benefits of regular activity.
• Support from institutions: Backed by the European Commission, national coordinators, partners and local organisations.

Programme Highlights

The European Week of Sport encompasses thousands of events across Europe, ranging from community sports days and fitness sessions to educational workshops and awareness campaigns.

Each year, flagship events are held in selected host countries, while local organisations are encouraged to run their own initiatives in line with the campaign’s goals.

Relevance for Professionals

For regulators, policymakers and organisations engaged in sustainability, social responsibility and public wellbeing, the European Week of Sport represents a unique opportunity to connect with community initiatives that improve health outcomes, promote inclusion and encourage long-term behavioural change.
