Living In The UK
British Sport

Sport in Britain is a serious matter. Of course it was the Brits that gave us sports such as football, golf, cricket, and rugby union, with these sports in particular still attracting a lot of support throughout the country.

The British sporting calendar is full of top fixtures such as the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships, The Grand National and Royal Ascot Races, Cowes Week (Yachting), the British Open (Golf), the Six Nations Rugby Championships, Cricket Tests (particularly the Ashes series against Australia), and the FA Cup (football). In any given week (dependant on the season of course), there is bound to be Premiership Football, Superleague Rugby League, county cricket, rugby union, and horse racing on within reach. Minor sports such as basketball, snooker, and even darts can be followed by loyal fans.

Britain's favourite winter sport by a country mile is football (or soccer). Most Brits either actively support a team, offer a less fanatic passive support for a team, or at least follow the results of the Premiership. Teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea are household names throughout the world. While Manchester United has dominated the sport in recent years, rival clubs Arsenal and Liverpool are challenging that supremacy.
