The national sports disability charity Level Playing Field has today launched ‘Unite For Access’ 2026, their annual campaign that promotes access and inclusion for fans with a disability.

The celebration will run from 28 February to 15 March , with events set to take place across the EFL.

During the campaign, Clubs up and down the country will be hosting dedicated matchdays, as well as delivering sessions to educate the local community on the topic.

EFL Club activations include:

Clubs across the League are coming together to highlight the importance of accessibility and inclusion within the game.

On Friday night at Bristol City, both the hosts and their visitors Watford will warm up in special Unite For Access T-shirts, setting the tone for a weekend dedicated to raising awareness and celebrating disabled supporters.

At Bolton Wanderers, the occasion will mark the launch of a brand-new sensory room, providing a more comfortable matchday experience for supporters who may benefit from a quieter, tailored environment. Swindon Town, meanwhile, will celebrate the early success of their own sensory space, which opened in December and has already made a meaningful impact.

Burton Albion are reaching out to local disability groups as part of efforts to strengthen ties within the community and lay the foundations for a disabled supporters’ association.

Ahead of Plymouth Argyle’s meeting with Doncaster Rovers on Saturday 7 March, the Club’s disabled supporters’ group will be firmly in the spotlight. Fans will be able to learn more in the fanzone, while participants from the Club’s Community Trust disability programmes have been invited to attend the match. The Club will also showcase the accessible services available to supporters and deliver disability awareness training to staff, reinforcing its ongoing commitment to inclusion both on and off the pitch.

This year’s campaign focuses on how disability has changed the matchday experience for some fans who offer powerful insights into their experiences in a film produced by Level Playing Field.

Patron of the charity, Roy Hodgson said: “The anticipation going into Unite For Access this year has been really high.

“Everyone at Level Playing Field appreciates the opportunity to bring people together during the campaign and I know that is also felt by fans and staff across the country.

“I am sure this year’s film will resonate with disabled and non-disabled fans, as it really gets to the heart of experiencing live sport, which is so important to so many of us.

“Our thanks go to all of the fans, disabled supporters’ associations, clubs and other stakeholders who are involved in the campaign, and we are particularly grateful to the Premier League and EFL for their ongoing support.”

The Level Playing Field ‘Unite For Access’ campaign launch film is available to view in accessible formats, on the Level Playing Field website.
