Talk Sport is back on campus this January and is open to all student year groups and degree disciplines. If you’re thinking about a future in sport, exercise or health, this is your chance to explore career options, hear from industry professionals and build valuable networks that can support your next steps.

Whatever your course subject, whether you study sport, science, business, engineering, creative arts or anything in between, Talk Sport offers career insight and employability support to help you take your first steps into the sector.

This year’s programme brings a packed afternoon of activity, with employer stands and expert presentations running throughout the day. Meet industry specialists from organisations such as Adidas, Leicester Tigers Rugby and Sale Sharks, hear insights into their roles, and explore the opportunities they offer. You’ll be able to speak directly with employers, ask questions, and get advice on breaking into the Sport, Exercise and Health industry.

Talk Sport 2026 takes place on Thursday 29 January in James France from 12pm to 5.45pm

Final-year students can also access an exclusive networking opportunity during Futures Festival. The Finalist Networking Session will be held on Wednesday 28 January from 2.30pm to 5pm in James France and is only open to finalists looking to connect.

Talk Sport is open to anyone interested in a career within the sports industry, regardless of degree programme or year.
