British sports clubs and organisations are facing rising costs from floods, heat, drought and storms, including pitch repairs, maintenance, insurance, and losses from postponed or cancelled matches. A report by the British Association for Sustainable Sport, based on more than 200 organisations, found that all respondents had been affected by extreme weather, and 94% believe the sector is not adequately prepared for the risks of climate change. At least 118 matches were postponed across the top six tiers of English football between the 2021–22 and 2025–26 seasons. The annual cost of bad weather to outdoor community sport is approaching £320 million. It could rise by £95 million with a 2°C increase in temperatures, or by £190 million with a 4°C increase. The association called for climate risks to be incorporated into clubs’ plans and for an annual £30 million fund to protect community sports facilities.
