Last year's Sports Day in Leeds had it all; unwavering team spirits, nail-biting finals and unforgettable socials. This year, we are hosting the most anticipated sporting event in Birmingham's history! The Commonwealth Games won't hold a candle to the spectacle that will be the 21st BDSA Sports Day. We hope you're ready to take home the glory and enjoy the incredible weekend we have in store; Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 June 2024, so save the date!

Our Local Committee has been working very hard behind scenes to ensure that the nights out and sports will deliver to the highest standard. You'll remember the socials for the rest of your time as students! As you all know, Birmingham hosted the Commonwealth Games a few years ago; we aim to bring you a similar level of sports venues that will make you feel like you're playing with the professionals. However, as good as Sports at Birmingham might be, we still want to deliver an inclusive and enjoyable experience for all involved so would love your input on our socials.

For those amongst you who want to compete for glory, we will be updating you after every fixture and letting you know of any star performances. And as it is ‘Sports Day', we want to host not one but TWO days of sporting action this year! We hope to have an entertaining selection of sports for competitors and spectators alike and will announce these soon so stay tuned!

To wrap it all up we will be having a trade fayre alongside the sports on Sunday. This will be an exciting opportunity to see a variety of dental companies whilst also getting enough freebies to make any student jealous! We will also have a number of food and snack stalls at the fayre for all ticket holders to indulge in.

Whether it's to stack up on freebies, enjoy the best the Birmingham nightlife has to offer, or fight to claim the coveted trophy and bring it home to your university. We look forward to seeing all of you! Find us on Instagram to keep up to date with any news and all the exciting things we have in store!

Tickets will be released very soon! To stay in the loop, follow @bdsa.birmingham for all the latest updates.
