Travelling is always exciting no matter when or where you go, but 2025 is an especially exciting year to travel if you love sports. There are an abundance of highly anticipated sporting events happening all over the world. So, here are a few to keep in mind that you could weave into your next holiday.
Belgian Grand Prix
The Belgian Grand Prix is one of the most loved tracks in the F1 season, and viewing it live is an unforgettable experience. The race will be taking place on 27 July, which is the perfect time to explore Belgium as the glorious summer weather arrives.
British and Irish Lions Tour
Visiting Australia is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many people and this is no exception for rugby fans. This year, the Lions Tour is being hosted in Australia, so if you’re considering a trip down under, 2025 is the perfect time to go.
Alternatively, if horse racing peaks your interest, the Melbourne Cup will be taking place on 4 November. Australian summer kicks off in December, so November is an ideal time to go as you’ll still get plenty of sun but avoid the peak of Australian heat.
Tour de France
The Tour de France is one of the most popular events in cycling and hundreds of people travel from all over the world to witness the race. With the competition commencing on 5 July, you can combine the spectacle with a beautifully sunny road trip across the country. If you prefer tennis, the French Open begins on 19 May and runs until 8 June.
Stanley Cup Finals
For those who favour something a little cooler, the Stanley Cup Finals are being held in May in the US and Canada. Attending a live ice hockey match is an experience like no other, with an explosive atmosphere and a highly enthusiastic fanbase. Additionally, both Canada and the US have almost unlimited possibilities when it comes to holidaying, so you’ll never be short of things to do alongside catching a game.
Plan Ahead to Avoid Missing Out
Wherever you decide to spend your next trip and whatever you choose to do while you’re there, it’s always important to plan your trip well in advance, particularly when it comes to attending live sporting events. Securing a good seat will always enhance your experience at the event.
