- Get your activation added! Register for #FvH2026 and let us know how you are supporting…
The annual Month of Action for the Football v Homophobia campaign is underway, with more than 150 clubs, teams, leagues, fan groups, County FAs and other football organisations having already registered in support.
Together, they form the #FvH Champions roster, publicly reaffirming their support for tackling anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination in all its forms in football.
The Champions include professional clubs from the Premier League, the EFL and the National League, plus at least 20 County FAs, and men’s semi-pro and grassroots leagues representing more than 600 teams.
Last year, there were around 300 Champions signed up by the conclusion of the FvH Month of Action and the Football v Transphobia Week of Action, which is held in late March.
FvH asks all those signing up to commit to a meaningful activation that helps to share the message of ‘Football for Everyone’. For most, that means dedicating a matchday or event to the campaign.
We’re compiling a list here of all the games, tournaments and other occasions on the #FvH2026 calendar. To get featured, sign up on the Month of Action form and tell us about your plans.

About Football v Homophobia
Football v Homophobia (FvH) is an international initiative that exists to challenge discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression at all levels of football.
We want football to take a clear stand against homophobia and transphobia so that everyone can enjoy the beautiful game and football leads the way in removing discrimination and prejudice based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Learn more here.
The annual Month of Action for the FvH campaign is held every February, in what is also LGBT+ History Month.
Clubs, leagues, groups and organisations are invited to register now. See our 2026 Champions so far here.
FvH provides tailored education sessions for people in football of all age groups.
