If you’re looking to make this season one to remember, look no further. With over 1000 grassroots teams participating, ESF26 is the biggest youth football festival of its kind in the UK – there’s nowhere better to take your team on an unforgettable end of season tour.
ESF is a series of professionally organised youth football festivals that bring grassroots teams of all abilities together for a fantastic touring weekend of football and fun at Butlin’s & Haven. ESF26 then culminates with our Champion of Champions event, the ESF Grand Finale at St George’s Park!
We’re proud to say that since the very first ESF Festival in 1989, over 1.5 Million people have joined us on tour at ESF!
ESF26 is staged exclusively at the UK’s very best holiday resorts – Butlin’s and Haven. With quality accommodation, superb facilities and great evening entertainment, whatever the result on the pitch, your team are sure to have a fantastic time away on tour together.
Our spectacular celebrity presentations are the perfect way to close the festival. Celebrity guests have included Emmanuel Petit, Jermain Defoe, Jordan Nobbs, Ashley Williams, Sue Smith, Paul Merson, Robert Pires, Faye White, Kevin Keegan, John Barnes and many more.
Win your age section at ESF26 at Butlin’s resorts and you’ll be invited to attend the prestigious ESF Grand Finale, our Champion of Champions event. The 2026 ESF Grand Finale will be staged at St George’s Park, the home of England’s National teams.
