February

February sees the return of the highly anticipated 2025 Guinness Men’s Six Nations Series, a highlight in the rugby calendar for many fans. It sees England, Scotland and Wales from the home nations battle it out with Ireland, France and Italy in the hope of being crowned champions. In 2024, it was Ireland who came away as worthy winners, however, England proved that the Wolfhounds weren’t unbeatable winning a thriller 23-22 at Twickenham. In 2025 it will certainly be all to play for, so can Ireland defend their title?

Watch the Six Nations live with Engage providing hospitality to watch all 15 games in style!

Looking ahead to a huge year of sport for England

Nothing unites the country more than getting behind England in sport. Luckily for us fans, we’ve got a huge year of international action to look forward to.

With major tournaments on the horizon, as well as the beginning of a few new eras, we’ve taken a look at the key events coming up in 2025 for our football, cricket and rugby sides.

The Thomas Tuchel era begins

It’s out with the waistcoat and in with the baseball cap. Thomas Tuchel has officially started as England boss after being announced as Gareth Southgate’s replacement last year.

The German manager has already been getting stuck into his new job, having been spotted at several Premier League games already. Tuchel has a year of World Cup qualifiers ahead of him, with the competition taking place in the USA, Canada and Mexico next summer.

That means hopeful England stars have 18 months to impress their new gaffer enough to earn a spot on the plane. While there are some names that are all but guaranteed to be involved, a new era means that the likes of Ben White, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho could be offered a fresh start after being exiled by Southgate.

Interim manager Lee Carsley blooded plenty of youngsters during his short reign, meaning Tuchel has a huge pool of talent to choose from for the World Cup. But England have got to qualify first and their first test comes in March, with home games against Albania and Latvia, before they also meet Andorra and Serbia later in the year.

Can the Lionesses retain their Euros crown?

It’s an even bigger year for the England women’s team as they head to Switzerland as the reigning Euros champions. Sarina Wiegman’s side won the tournament back in 2022, with Chloe Kelly scoring an extra-time winner to sink rivals Germany.

After suffering heartbreak in the World Cup final against Spain a year and a half ago, England will be desperate to bounce back in style at the first opportunity. They should progress to the knockout stages, although they don’t have the easiest of groups after being drawn against France, the Netherlands and Wales.

A rematch with Spain could be on the cards in the quarter-finals and they should be more equipped to challenge this time around. Beth Mead will be back after missing the World Cup through injury. Meanwhile, younger talents like Lauren James, Lauren Hemp, Alessia Russo and Ella Toone have more experience under their belts.

Bazball heads down under in search of Ashes glory

England came so close to regaining the Ashes back in 2023 and may well have done had poor weather not brought the final Test to a premature end. They’ll be gunning for glory and they head to Australia this winter in search of their first Ashes win down under since 2011.

But there’s a lot of cricket to be played between now and the first Test in November. Brendon McCullum is set for a busy 12 months. After turning the Test team into an exciting, attacking force, he’s been drafted in to take charge of the white ball side as well.

After a trip to India, England take on Australia, Afghanistan and South Africa in the Champions Trophy. They then welcome the West Indies for a series of ODIs and T20s, before a five Test series against India.

The cricket fun continues with white ball action against South Africa and Ireland, before McCullum and co. head to Oz for another few months of Bazball. It’s been a huge 12 months on the international stage for the likes of Harry Brook, Gus Atkinson and Jamie Smith. Their youth and enthusiasm, combined with the experience of Ben Stokes, Joe Root and Jos Buttler, could make England a force to be reckoned with in all formats.

England target a World Cup win

Much like the men’s side, England’s women’s cricket team will have one eye on the second half of the year. Heather Knight and co. head to India for the 2025 World Cup in August, where they’ll be targeting their fourth title.

They last won it back in 2017 and there are still a few names from that squad knocking around, including captain Knight. And they’ll fancy their chances at lifting the trophy again with a squad packed full of talent, including fearsome batter Nat Sciver-Brunt.

They’re in the midst of a white ball series against Australia, which will be followed by a Test match. Then in preparation for the World Cup, they’ll entertain the West Indies and India with home T20 and ODI series.

Do England have enough to challenge for the Six Nations?

England had mixed fortunes in the recent Autumn Nations Series. Steve Borthwick’s side enjoyed a positive result against Japan in their final game, but prior to that they were outclassed in tight contests versus New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.

There were plenty of positives and the series gave them the chance to experiment with untried talent. England will look to push on in 2025, starting with the Six Nations, which gets underway in a few weeks.

To be the best, you need to beat the best and England start the campaign against reigning champions Ireland. And things don’t get much easier as they follow that game up against France.

They’ll finish the Six Nations with a trip to Wales, who made history in 2024 as they became the first team to lose every game in a calendar year since 1937. And England will be hoping to pile more misery on their neighbours as they look to win the competition for the first time since 2020.25!

Christmas Day Sporting Events

A very Merry Christmas to you all from Engage Hospitality! Here at Engage we know how much you love your sport, just the same as we do and perhaps you’re looking for something to fill the time while you let your Christmas Dinner settle. This is your run down of all the sports and traditions taking place on Christmas Day!

The traditional Christmas Day sports in the UK have all but petered out now. Many sports now opt for a Boxing Day showing of sport rather than the big day itself to allow athletes the time to relax with their families. In fact the last time football was played in England on Christmas Day was back in 1965. Scottish football on Christmas Day lasted slightly longer but eventually was moved to Boxing Day in the 1970s marking an absence of sport in the UK on the 25th December.

However, in other countries this year, there will still be plenty of action to keep you entertained with NFL and NBA action coming up.

NBA

Kicking off your afternoon on Christmas Day will be the New York Knicks as they take on the San Antonio Spurs at 17:00 GMT in the NBA. The NBA is renowned for its Christmas Day games and this year is no different with a triple header in store for basketball fans around the world. Following the first game, the Dallas Mavericks will host the Minnesota Timberwolves at 19:30. The Mavericks were runners up in the Championship game last season and are in the hunt for their first NBA title since 2011. They currently sit 4th in the Western Conference table with many interested to see if they can challenge again this season.

The final NBA game of Christmas Day will see reigning Champions Boston Celtics welcome the Philadelphia 76ers. The Massachusetts based side are the most successful team in NBA history having appeared in 23 NBA Finals, winning 18 titles. Currently second in the Eastern Conference table, they look set on winning an astonishing 19th title as they hunt for another victory on Christmas Day.

NFL

Elsewhere in America on the 25th December, the NFL is also boasting an exciting day of action. The Pittsburgh Steelers take on reigning champions the Kansas City Chiefs at 18:00 GMT. The Chiefs have been dominating American Football in recent years winning the Superbowl in 2019, 2022 and 2023. With 13 wins in the regular campaign this year, they will be keen to maintain their superiority over the festive season in the hope of winning a third consecutive Superbowl.

At 21:30, the Houston Texans will host the Baltimore Ravens to mark the end of the festive action in the NFL. The Ravens are looking for their first win at the Superbowl since 2012, however, a tricky season so far sees them with 9 victories and 5 defeats.

Cricket

If the NBA and NFL action still isn’t enough for you (and you manage to stay awake!) there is a big cricket game due to start at 23:30 GMT on Christmas Day. As a result of the Australian time difference, Australia take on India in the penultimate match of a 5 game test series. With the series currently tied at a tense 1-1, the Aussies will be looking to treat their fans to a festive victory. Ahead of the Ashes ‘Down Under’ next year, it will be a good indication of how Australia may line up as England look to take home the famous Urn in 2025. If you can fight the tiredness from the Christmas Day thrills, you will certainly want to stay up for this one.

With some fantastic sporting prospects coming up on the big day, what will you choose to watch? Like what you see on Christmas Day? Watch the NFL, NBA and England Cricket live with Engage Hospitality, offering wonderful packages for you to watch your favourite sports in action in 2025!

The best sport and music moments of 2024

As 2024 comes to an end, it’s time to reflect on a whirlwind 12 months in both sport and music. We’ve enjoyed yet another thrilling year, with countless unforgettable moments.

While there are plenty that we could have included, we’ve whittled it down to our five favourites.

Late Euros drama for England

England fans have become used to reaching the latter stages of international tournaments of late, so expectations were high heading into Euro 2024 earlier this year. While Gareth Southgate’s side reached yet another final, they sadly fell at the final hurdle, losing to Spain in the final.

Despite that heartbreak, there were still some huge moments for the Three Lions, with some unforgettable late goals along the way. England bored their way through the group stage to set up a round of 16 tie with Slovakia and they looked to be on their way out as the game reached its dying embers.

But Jude Bellingham had other ideas and after a phenomenal debut season at Real Madrid, he continued his dream season by scoring a dramatic 95th minute bicycle kick equaliser to take the game to extra-time. Harry Kane headed in a winner and England were into the quarter-finals.

Another late goal from Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka led to England ultimately beating Switzerland on penalties and then, in their semi-final clash with the Netherlands, another period of extra-time loomed. However, in yet another late moment of magic, Ollie Watkins smashed in a winner and England reached the final.

The return of Oasis

After splitting up in 2009, music fans have been begging for Oasis to get back together for the best part of 15 years. As time went on, those calls became more and more desperate, with many giving up hope that the feuding Gallagher brothers would ever reunite.

However, in an announcement that shocked the world, Oasis confirmed that they’d be returning for a long-awaited tour next year. The Britpop band are set to play five dates in their hometown Manchester and seven at Wembley, as well as gigs in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Dublin and plenty of other places across the globe.

More than 10 million people logged on to buy tickets, with many fans being left disappointed. Their first return gig at the Principality Stadium is next July and it’s arguably the most anticipated concert in the history of music. If you missed out or fancy watching Oasis in style, you can join us in the UK or Ireland in Engage’s exclusive hospitality areas.

Keely Hodgkinson strikes gold in Paris

20 years after Dame Kelly Holmes did the double in the 800m and 1500m in Athens, Team GB crowned another queen of the track in Paris this summer. Keely Hodgkinson was targeting gold after claiming silver in Tokyo last time out and she didn’t disappoint.

The 22-year-old raced to glory in an emphatic performance, leaving reigning world champion Mary Moraa in her wake. Hodgkinson’s incredible feat saw her crowned the BBC Sports Personality of the Year earlier this week.

And the runner wasn’t Team GB’s only star at this year’s games. Alex Yee mounted a remarkable comeback to claim gold in the triathlon, while paralympian Dame Sarah Storey picked up another two cycling gold medals to take her career tally to 19.

Girls take over in pop music revival

It was a huge 2024 for pop music, with some of the world’s biggest stars enjoying their best year yet. Taylor Swift finally waved goodbye to her iconic The Eras Tour, playing the final of 149 shows in Vancouver earlier this month.

The 20-month tour became the highest-grossing in history and the first to gross more than $1 billion, with more than 10 million people attending around the world. And Swift wasn’t the only female pop superstar to taste success this year.

Sabrina Carpenter, who was a support act in some of the earlier The Eras Tour shows, enjoyed a breakthrough year. Her album ‘Short n’ Sweet’, which featured the hit single ‘Espresso’, became the first to ever debut at the top of the Billboard 200.

Elsewhere, the likes of Chappell Roan and Charlie XCX became musical icons this year, while Dua Lipa stole the show at Glastonbury as she headlined the Pyramid Stage on the Friday night.

Luke Littler bounces back from World Championship defeat

We’re currently in the midst of the PDC World Darts Championship but if we rewind 12 months, Luke Littler was taking his debut tournament by storm. Aged just 16, the 66/1 shot went on a remarkable run to reach the final.

He suffered heartbreak as he eventually lost to fellow Brit Luke Humphries but the youngster, who was the SPOTY runner-up, has bounced back and enjoyed a standout year.

Littler is the reigning Premier League Darts, Grand Slam and World Series Finals champion. He’s still hoping to add the World Championship title to his collection and, with his 18th birthday still a few weeks away, we’ve got no doubt that he’ll have plenty to his name when he eventually calls it a day.

The best comedy shows and music gigs to see in December

We’ve already let you know the biggest comedians going on tour in 2025, but if you can’t wait until then, we’ve got you covered. There’s plenty of comedy to look forward to before the end of the year, as well as a whole host of concerts taking place, so why not treat yourself to a night of entertainment before Christmas?

Comedy in December

Mo Gilligan

Thursday 5th December – O2 Apollo, Manchester
Friday 6th and Saturday 7th December – Eventim Apollo, London
Saturday 14th December – Up The Creek, London

Mo Gilligan made his name on social media but he’s made the transition to comedy seamlessly and has become a TV star in his own right. He hosts his own show, The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan and he’s also a judge on The Masked Singer.

The 36-year-old is currently in the middle of his In The Moment World Tour and he’s got a busy weekend ahead of him, with a gig in Manchester tonight before two nights at London’s iconic Hammersmith Apollo.

Jack and Michael Whitehall

Monday 9th December – Brentwood Centre, Brentwood
Friday 13th December – Bristol Beacon, Bristol
Saturday 21st December – The Civic Hall, Wolverhampton
Sunday 22nd December – The Centaur, Cheltenham

While not technically stand-up comedy, you’re still guaranteed to be laughing at Jack and Michael Whitehall’s live show. The father and son duo are known for their travel shows, where Jack’s childish humour combined with his dad’s dry wit are a match made in heaven.

Expect an evening of conversation packed full of stories of their travels, reminiscing of family encounters and maybe one or two arguments – but don’t worry, Jack’s mother Hilary is on hand to act as referee.

Music in December

Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball

Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th December – The O2 Arena, London

This weekend sees the Jingle Bell Ball return to London’s iconic O2 Arena, with two days of superstar performers ready to get the capital in the mood for Christmas. Despite being in the middle of their Music of the Spheres world tour, Coldplay will be popping in for their fourth performance, having also headlined in 2011, 2015 and 2022.

Meanwhile, Katy Perry is also set to wow fans at the event, headlining on the Sunday. The American star’s last Jingle Bell Ball performance came way back in 2013. Other acts on the line-up include Perrie, Ella Henderson, Becky Hill and Clean Bandit, while KSI, Tom Grennan, Teddy Swims and Sigala are also performing.

If you fancy watching the show from the best seats in the house, there’s still time to join us in our exclusive hospitality areas. Enquire today to reserve your place.

Our hospitality packages give you the chance to enjoy the shows from our luxury areas, with food and drinks benefits to suit your needs. Enquire today to book your place.

Paul McCartney

Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th December – The O2 Arena, London

The phrase ‘aged like a fine wine’ couldn’t be more apt for Paul McCartney, who is still touring at the age of 82. The Liverpool legend and former frontman of The Beatles is heading to London with his Got Back tour, where he’ll treat music lovers to timeless hits, both from his time in the band and from his solo career.

As ever, we’re offering hospitality packages so that you can enjoy the show in style.

Football

The highlight for many football fans, boxing day fixtures are expected to have supporters glued as normal. Chelsea take on Fulham at Stamford Bridge in the West London derby whilst Liverpool host Leicester City, and Manchester City take on Everton all on the 26th December.

The NFL is renowned for having fixtures on Christmas Day.

The Chiefs are looking for their third consecutive Super Bowl title in 2025, maintaining their dominance from 2023 and 2024.

Formula 1

Tempers flared and emotions were high as the penultimate race of the 2024 Formula 1 season took place in Qatar at the weekend. Max Verstappen was victorious once again in Qatar having sealed his fourth Championship a week earlier in Las Vegas. However, the drama wasn’t finished when the drivers crossed the line. Verstappen claimed he had ‘lost all respect’ for George Rusell after the Dutchman was handed a penalty and was upset by Russell’s behaviour in the stewards’ room. Meanwhile, in the race for the Constructors’ Championship there was controversy, with Lando Norris handed a penalty for speeding under yellow flags. As a result of the penalty, McLaren haven’t quite secured the title and it will be all to play for in the final race of the season.

The second week in December marks the finale of the Formula 1 Season as drivers make their way to the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi always makes for a spectacular venue for the final race of the season and 2024 will be no different. McLaren lead the way by just 21 points from Ferrari with the Constructors’ Championship all to play for!

The best sporting weekends away

We may be on the home straight of summer but that doesn’t mean the holiday season is over. There are plenty of amazing places to visit across the globe and with so many incredible sporting events on the horizon, it’s the perfect opportunity to combine a long weekend away with some top-class action.

If you’re stuck about where to go or need a nudge in the right direction, we’ve put together a list of all the best sporting weekends away, as well as details on how to make the most of our brand-new hospitality experience.

Barcelona – Spanish Grand Prix

There’s nothing like a weekend in the sunshine watching Formula One and locations don’t get much better than Barcelona. The iconic Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is well known on the circuit and was the scene of Max Verstappen’s first ever Grand Prix win back in 2016.

The course has been hosting F1 races since opening way back in 1991 ahead of the Olympics taking place the following year. Located just 15 miles from central Barcelona, it’s the ideal location to combine a racing weekend next May with a sun-soaked city break.

Walk down the iconic Las Ramblas strip, visit the stunning Sagrada Familia and then enjoy a delicious cocktail on the beach. And the best part? We’ll do all the admin for you! With our exclusive new ROAM hospitality packages, you can combine unrivalled F1 hospitality with a luxury three-night stay in a five star Barcelona hotel. Enquire today to book your place.

Lake Como – Italian Grand Prix

The F1 calendar is known for visiting the most beautiful places in the world and the Italian Grand Prix is no different. Located just outside Milan, the Monza racecourse is just a short drive from the picturesque Lake Como.

A weekend taking in the racing action allows you to explore the high-end shops and cultural joys of Milan, relax in the stunning surroundings of the lake and experience all the thrills of the Italian Grand Prix.

The course is steeped in history and at more than 100 years old, it’s the oldest circuit in mainland Europe. Just like Barcelona, with our ROAM experience you can enjoy premium hospitality for the Saturday and Sunday of next September’s Grand Prix weekend, as well as a gorgeous weekend stay in Lake Como.

Monaco Grand Prix

Nothing says luxury like Monaco, which is handy if you’re a Formula One fan looking for a classy weekend away. One of the fanciest cities on the circuit is also a beautiful place to spend a weekend, so why not treat yourself to the Monaco Grand Prix next May?

You can see how the other half live by marvelling at the super yachts, browsing the designer shops and tasting the best food money can buy at one of Monaco’s many Michelin-starred restaurants.

Charles Leclerc won the race in his hometown for the first time this year and his new Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton will be hoping to follow suit in 2025. You can enjoy the iconic race from the best seats in the house with Engage’s exclusive hospitality packages.

Dublin – Ireland Rugby

It’s not just Formula One that offers the perfect chance for a weekend away. Rugby travels all over the world, with countries like Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa famous for their impressive teams and beautiful locations.

While they may be a bit far for a quick trip, luckily, it’s only a short flight from the UK to Dublin, where you’re guaranteed a good time. As well as incredible rugby, you can head to the home of Guinness for a proper pint, great local food and traditional Irish music.

Dublin is also known for its beautiful castle, while it’s just a stone’s throw from gorgeous countryside and the coast. Why not combine a trip to the capital of the Emerald Isle with watching top-class rugby?

Ireland host New Zealand, Argentina and Australia at the Aviva Stadium in the Autumn Nations series this November, with plenty of hospitality packages available with Engage. Plus, they’ll be looking to win their third Six Nations crown in a row next spring, with home matches against England and France to look forward to.

New York – US Open

A bit further afield but certainly doable for a quick getaway is New York. Around an eight-hour flight from London, the Big Apple is one of the most visited cities in the world, with so much to do – and that’s before you even consider the sports you can see.

Visit Times Square, the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building – plus you could enjoy a stroll around the iconic Central Park. New York famously has huge teams in all the major American sports. You could see the New York Yankees play baseball, the New York Giants in American football or the New York Knicks shooting hoops in basketball.

Or, if you fancy going sooner rather than later, why not hop across the pond for the US Open, which gets underway at the end of August? Head to the iconic grounds of Flushing Meadows and make the most of our hospitality options. If you’re lucky, you might just see Novak Djokovic finally win his 25th Grand Slam title and overtake Margaret Court to become the all-time leader in major titles.

The biggest British summer events to look forward to in 2025

We’re still in the midst of summer and while we have plenty of sport to look forward to before the dark and dreary days of winter descend upon us, we’ve already got one eye on next year.

There’s nothing quite like a summer of British sport and with the likes of Wimbledon, Royal Ascot and the Open Championship to look forward to, we’re set for yet another incredible few months of sport.

Ahead of all the action, we’ve taken a look at some of the key British sporting events to look forward to in 2025.

Wimbledon

Dates: Monday 30th June to Sunday 13th July, 2025

For many people, Wimbledon is the first thing they look for on the sporting calendar each year. Carlos Alcaraz is quickly becoming the next big thing in tennis and he’ll be looking to claim a third consecutive title next summer after winning back-to-back finals against seven-time champion Novak Djokovic.

In the women’s singles competition, Czech star Barbora Krejčíková became the eighth different champion since 2016. World number one Iga Świątek struggled in this year’s competition and the Polish star will be looking to finally add it to her collection next summer.

We’re still catching our breath after an incredible Wimbledon this year but if you’re already counting down the days to the 2025 tournament, you can join us in the best seats in the house. With Wimbledon Debentures, you’ll have access to premium seats on both Centre Court and No. 1 Court, with premium lounges and exclusive restaurants at your disposal.

LTA Championships at Queen’s

Dates: Monday 9th June to Sunday 22nd June, 2025

Each summer, the warm-up to Wimbledon and a key fixture in the grass-court season is the LTA Championships at Queen’s. American Tommy Paul was this year’s champion, beating Italian Lorenzo Musetti in the final. Alcaraz competed in the London event but was eliminated in the second round as he lost to Jack Draper.

Next year’s championships will see a women’s competition take place for the first time since 1973. The WTA 500 event will run for the first week of the tournament, with the ATP 500 competition commencing on Monday 16th June. As ever, we’ll be offering hospitality packages – enquire today to book your place.

Henley Royal Regatta

Dates: Tuesday 1st July to Sunday 6th July, 2025

The fanciest week in rowing returns to Oxfordshire in the form of the Henley Royal Regatta. The six-day event has been taking place since 1839 and, once again, it will host more than 300 races along the River Thames.

The Grand Challenge Cup is the most prestigious race of the week and you can watch it in style in our exclusive hospitality areas. As well as front row seats for all the racing action, you’ll be able to enjoy a complimentary bar, incredible food and first-class entertainment throughout your visit.

British Grand Prix

Dates: Thursday 3rd July to Sunday 6th July, 2025

Next year’s British Grand Prix will be Lewis Hamilton’s first home race driving for Ferrari. The 39-year-old is set to leave Mercedes after the end of the current season and he’ll be targeting a record 10th win at Silverstone for his new team.

Max Verstappen is on track to win his fourth consecutive Formula One title but with Hamilton back on form, he’ll fancy his chances at securing a record-breaking eighth world title next year. And if you fancy seeing the legendary British driver donning the red of Ferrari at his spiritual home, you can make the most of our exclusive hospitality offerings.

Open Championship

Dates: Thursday 17th July to Sunday 20th July, 2025

The Open Championship returns to Northern Ireland next summer, with Royal Portrush once again set to host the major competition. The iconic course last welcomed the tournament in 2019, with Shane Lowry finishing six strokes clear of Tommy Fleetwood.

Rory McIlroy will be desperate to secure his first major title since 2014 in his home country. The 35-year-old came so close to winning a fifth in the US Open earlier this year. Join Engage in the luxury of our hospitality areas for the chance to see McIlroy lift the claret jug for the second time.

Royal Ascot

Dates: Tuesday 17th June to Saturday 21st June, 2025

The classiest week in the British racing calendar returns next June, with racing fans and members of the royal family alike set to flock to Berkshire for Royal Ascot. The festival features some of the world’s most prestigious races, including the Gold Cup, the Queen Anne Stakes and the Prince of Wales’s Stakes.

As ever, we’ll be offering several exclusive hospitality packages, including our ICON experience and private boxes. Enquire today to hear more about our packages, with complimentary drinks, world-class food and unrivalled views of all the racing action to enjoy.
