TGG Live 2026

TGG Live has become a key fixture in the football calendar, drawing hundreds of senior delegates from clubs and federations across Europe for two days of live, unmissable insight.

Following TGG Live 2025 – our biggest yet – we’re back at Old Trafford for 2026. As ever, our agenda is built around the people running the game.

Keynotes come from Merijn Zeeman (Managing Director, AZ Alkmaar) and Neil Bath (former Director of Football Development, Chelsea). A Sporting Director panel with Ross Wilson (Newcastle), Simon Wilson (Sheffield Wednesday) and Leigh Bromby (Derby County), while an Academy Director panel features Stephen Torpey (Manchester United), David Rainford (Brentford) and Jonathan Hunter-Barrett (Wolves).

Dr Claire-Marie Roberts, who helped guide Coventry City to promotion to the Premier League as Performance Director, joins the bill too, alongside a new session for this year on how a CEO, Director of Football and Head Coach really work together, with Stephen Pearce (Derby County), David Fox (Plymouth Argyle) and Steven Schumacher (Bolton Wanderers).

New for 2026: specialist break-out sessions, so delegates can deep dive on their own area – Sporting Directors, recruitment, analytics, coaching/ Academies and performance – plus more built-in time for networking across both days, closing Day One with an exclusive dinner at Old Trafford.
