Time out: Competiton from substitute activities is threatening revenue growth in 2023-24

Sports facilities revenue is anticipated to drop at a compound annual rate of 5.6% to £4.8 billion over the five years through 2023-24, hit by greater competition from substitute activities and weak economic conditions. Popular sporting events like the 2019 Cricket World Cup and the UEFA Euro 2020 have supported rental and leasing income from clubs. Efforts made by the government to encourage sport participation, like Sporting Future and Towards an Active Nation, have improved attitudes towards sport, lifting demand for sports facilities.
