Discover the North
Where Is the North?
Three regions. Nine major cities. Sixteen million people. A connected constellation of places, each with a distinct role in the most ambitious sporting vision Britain has seen.
The Northern Constellation
The North of England stretches from the Scottish border to the Humber estuary, from the Irish Sea to the North Sea. It contains more people than Norway, more stadiums than most Olympic host nations, and a transport network that is already being transformed.

Three Regions
Every Part Plays a Role
The strength of the Northern bid is not concentration in a single city — it is the complementary capability of three distinct regions, each indispensable to the whole.
More than a map. A statement of intent.
These are not aspiration pins on a board. These are real places with real assets, real capacity, and real people ready to deliver.
