Could your tennis club put £250 towards a more sustainable upgrade?

Two weeks remain in the final round of the LTA Pledgeball League and just one pledge can make all the difference to the table!

Make your simple sustainability pledge in support of your club or venue. Every pledge helps it climb the table, with grants of £250, £150 and £100 available for the top three.

That funding could support a new water refill station, energy-efficient lighting, bike racks, biodiversity work or another environmental improvement.

Everyone who pledges is also entered into the draw for tickets to the 2027 HSBC Championships at Queen’s.

South Korean football is considering a major calendar change as extreme summer heat makes its current season increasingly difficult for players and supporters.

More than 70% of K League coaches surveyed support moving from a March-November season to an August-May calendar.

It raises a much bigger question: if domestic leagues are starting to avoid the hottest months, what does that mean for the future of summer tournaments?

Route ’26 followed Loz and Alex across North America to explore how extreme heat and a changing climate are already reshaping football.

On Sunday, United and City settle it on the pitch. Before then, their supporters have another score to settle.

Manchester United 0–0 Manchester City.

That’s the supporter pledge score ahead of the Manchester derby.

One pledge could break the deadlock. Choose an action that works for you, pledge it in support of your club and help your side climb the Pledgeball League.

Supporting someone else this weekend? You can pledge ahead of any fixture in the football calendar.

Planning an away day? Found a route worth sharing? Been caught out by the last train home?

We’ve opened a new Fan Travel & Away Days forum in the Pledgeball Discord.

It’s a place to ask questions, compare routes, share costs and help other supporters find practical ways to get to the game.

Whether it’s your regular trip to a home match or a European away day, bring your experiences, problems and solutions.

Champions League nights are back!

For supporters, the journey is part of the experience: the early start, the station meet-up, the new city and the stories you bring home.

But what would make travelling to European away games by rail or coach a realistic choice for more fans?

Cheaper fares? Earlier fixture confirmation? Better connections? More services after the final whistle?

Tell us what would make the biggest difference.

Because protecting where we play has to work for the people who follow their clubs everywhere.

20 MILLION kits. That is the estimated number of replica shirts set to be destroyed after this World Cup. 🤯

We sat down with to get to the bottom of football’s replica shirt waste crisis.

From the financial barriers pushing fans toward counterfeits, to the harsh environmental reality of essentially burning millions of plastic garments, the current system is broken.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. There is a massive opportunity for clubs to embrace circular models, and for fans to wear their classic kits with pride.

Away days can be tense, especially when you’ve just knocked the host nation out of a tournament in their own legendary backyard. 😅

But what happened when Harvey and his dad left the Estadio Azteca was the absolute definition of class. No hostility, no bitterness—just rows of Mexican fans lining up to shake hands, show respect, and wish the England lads luck. 🤝

This is exactly what football culture should be about.

🎙️ Catch the full story and the rest of the chaotic Aztec review in Episode Three of The England Fan Road Diaries — link in our bio!
