Licensed Competitions
Licensing your event
Applications should be submitted electronically, ideally no less than 8 weeks prior to the event date. Applications will be reviewed in the first instance by a Regional representative and then by an England Officer who will issue licences.
Licensed event listings
The downloadable spreadsheets are updated approximately weekly. Licensed events may be subject to change – and only events in England (including Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey) are shown. Track and Field events can be indoor or outdoor.
