Sport Travel - Experience the World’s Biggest Events

Not necessarily. A lot of the best sport travel experiences often happen well beyond the stadium. Host cities come alive in a way they simply don’t at any other time - fan zones, pop-up events, packed bars, and an infectious energy that fills every street. A great trip is just as likely to be built around the atmosphere as the match itself.

Just chat with one of our Travel Experts in-store or online. We handle the logistics - flights, accommodation, transfers, and timing - so your itinerary works around the sporting calendar rather than against it. No scrambling for last-minute hotels or missed connections.

Yes - and the bigger the event, the earlier the better. Flights and hotels in host cities fill up fast, and prices rise sharply as event dates approach. Booking well in advance gives you the best availability, the best rates, and far more choice when it comes to where you stay.

Absolutely. Your Travel Expert can build the trip entirely around you - whether that means arriving early to explore the city, adding extra nights, combining multiple destinations, or pairing the sporting event with a wider holiday. The event is the anchor; everything else is flexible.

More than you’d think. Sport has a way of transforming a destination. Travelling during a major event is one of the most memorable ways to see a city, even if you couldn’t name a single player. Many of our best sport travel stories come from people who went along for the ride.

Easily. Couples might lean into the occasion with a city break built around the event; families can use the fixture schedule as a framework and fill the rest with sightseeing; and groups travelling together get the added benefit of shared moments that are genuinely hard to replicate any other way. We match the itinerary to how you’re travelling.

The honest answer is almost anywhere that hosts major international sport - which covers a remarkable spread of the world’s greatest cities. North America, Asia, Australia, South Africa, the Caribbean - sport travel has a habit of sending you somewhere you’d want to visit regardless. The event just makes the decision easier.

Definitely. We regularly pair sport travel with city breaks, beach extensions, road trips, or even cruises. Fly into a host city for the event, then spend another week exploring the wider region. It’s one of the most natural ways to turn a short trip into a proper holiday. 

Yes. You can keep costs lean with a well-timed city break, flight deals, a centrally located hotel, and the free-to-experience atmosphere of a host city. Or you can go all-in with premium seats, luxury accommodation, and exclusive fan experiences. We work across the full range and find the right fit for what you want to spend.

Yes, While Flight Centre does not sell sporting event tickets, we can point you in the right direction depending on the event. In some cases, the atmosphere around the event is the draw, and no ticket is needed at all. Either way, we build your travel around the experience - tickets or no tickets.

Start with a destination you’ve always wanted to visit, then check what’s on when you’re there. The beauty of sport travel is that it gives you a reason and a moment - a fixed point around which a great trip organises itself. Talk to a Travel Expert and we’ll help you find the right match between destination, event, and travel style. 

We do not sell tickets to sporting events directly - but we do take care of everything around them. Our Travel Experts can sort your flights, accommodation, and transfers so you arrive in the right city at the right time, ready to make the most of the occasion. Whether you've already got tickets sorted or you're simply going for the atmosphere, we'll build the trip around you.
