As the Great Britain Contact Teams gear up for their respective camps tomorrow in Derby and Nottingham, we’d like to congratulate and celebrate our 62 Titans who earned a coveted spot in the National Programmes for 2026.

We are immensely proud of all our contact and flag players whose hard work has paid off and who now get to represent their country in the sport they love. It’s an honour to have you be part of our club. We wish you the best of luck in securing a spot on the game day squads, the whole club is behind you!

We are also proud of all our Titans coaches who are involved with the GB Men’s Performance, Development, Academy, Women’s Performance, and Men’s Flag programmes. With their knowledge, commitment, and dedication to this sport they not only make our club better, but they also elevate British American Football at the international level.

The first GB contact fixture in 2026 will be Great Britain Women vs Germany on Sunday 31 May at the Nick Newbold Stadium in Coventry. Tickets are available to purchase online and on the door on the day.

Sport England Crowdfunder Raises £10,000

Titans Secure £10,000 For New Equipment

After a very successful couple of years of high recruitment, our club is the largest it has ever been with more members playing contact football for the Manchester Titans than ever before. Our fortunate position does however mean we have had to significantly invest into our stock of helmets and pads. To help us do this, Sport England pledged to match funding up to £5,000 to help us update and upgrade our stock of American Football equipment. 

As a community club we have always prided ourselves on our ability to provide equipment to our rookies and our youth teams to lower the financial barrier to what is already quite an expensive sport. This is something we are passionate about maintaining. Our Sport England Crowdfunder has been crucial to our continued ability to do this for our members and the support we’ve received from the community has been absolutely fantastic. 

Your generosity means we can keep kitting out our players in some of the best and safest equipment on the market, bringing in new players who otherwise would not be able to afford it, and allowing our youth programmes to thrive. 

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated to help us reach our goal. Thank you for your part in helping to make sure American Football is for everyone, regardless of their background.

A special thanks and shout-out to Louis Wong (pictured), one of our youth players, who ran a 10k to help raise funds for the club. What an amazing achievement!
