What's in the feed

Major sporting events

Every event we track across football, cricket, rugby, tennis, motorsport, athletics, swimming, cycling, golf, snooker, gymnastics, rowing, and multi-sport games — the same data behind our events hub and the "what's on" banner in the Roster Champion sports roster.

UK bank holidays

England & Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland each have their own bank holiday calendar — including regional ones most feeds miss, like Scotland's St Andrew's Day, Northern Ireland's Battle of the Boyne, and 2026's one-off Scottish World Cup bank holiday. 2026 dates are verified against gov.uk; 2027 dates are clearly marked provisional until gov.uk confirms them.

    Why this matters for your roster

    Bank holidays change staffing needs directly — different coverage rules, different pay rates, different demand. Major sporting events change them indirectly — training attendance dips, facility demand spikes, volunteers get pulled away. Most teams track one and forget the other. Put both on the same calendar your whole team already has open, and neither catches you out.
