Dubai residents and tourists can now access information on more than 500 sporting events during the 2026-27 season free of charge through the DubaiNow app, with links to register for competitions or purchase tickets.

The Dubai Sports Council launched the emirate’s new sporting events calendar on October 19 in collaboration with Digital Dubai. The calendar features more than 80 international competitions and championships, as well as hundreds of local and community events.

The initiative was launched under the directives of Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, President of the UAE National Olympic Committee and Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council. It aims to make event information more accessible and encourage greater participation in sporting activities.

The new calendar covers a wide range of events, including the Dubai Fitness Challenge, the FIBA 3x3 World Tour, Dubai Premier Padel P1, the DP World Tour Championship, the T100 Triathlon and PFL mixed martial arts competitions.

The list also includes the Dubai Sail Grand Prix, the World Sports Summit, the Dubai Marathon and the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.

Through the sports calendar, users can check event dates and venues, view information about teams and athletes, and review attendance or participation requirements.
