Football tournaments in Yorkshire and the Humber

Tournaments just outside Yorkshire and the Humber

Yorkshire and the Humber borders North East England and parts of the North West and East Midlands. Nearby tournaments may therefore appear in Cumbria, Lancashire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire or the parts of Lincolnshire outside Yorkshire and the Humber.

Tournament details are organiser-declared. Always check with the organiser before entering or travelling.

Search by postcode when distance matters

A postcode search can be the quickest way to see what is genuinely reachable, because a radius crosses the regional boundary rather than stopping at it. That matters most for teams near the North East border in the north, or the East Midlands border around Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire in the south.

For the full location-first experience, go to the tournament search near you.

How the region is grouped

For browsing, FindMeFootball groups York with North Yorkshire and Hull with East Yorkshire. North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire, including Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Cleethorpes, are also included within Yorkshire and the Humber for regional classification.

Every listing shows its actual town or locality as well as the wider browse area, so you can judge the journey without relying on a broad regional name.

Filter by age group, level and format

The same filters help whichever way you arrive at a list. Filter by age group from U7 to U16 and by the organiser-declared level.

From the 2026/27 season, the maximum formats in England are 3v3 at U7, 5v5 at U8 and U9, 7v7 at U10 and U11, 9v9 at U12 and U13, and 11v11 from U14. Smaller formats may be used, so always check the individual tournament rules rather than assuming. The level is set by the organiser, not assessed by FindMeFootball, so treat it as a guide and confirm before entering. Our guide to choosing the right level has more.

When tournaments in Yorkshire and the Humber happen

Many outdoor grassroots tournaments take place from late spring through the summer, with particularly strong availability between June and August. Timing varies by organiser and venue, and some tournaments using indoor or artificial pitches may run at other times of year.

Popular summer tournaments often take entries months in advance, so it is worth looking early or setting an alert for your age group.

Choosing and entering a tournament

Before you commit, check the organiser-declared level against your squad, the playing format and squad size, the number of guaranteed games, the date and kick-off time, and the wet-weather and refund policy. Our team manager checklist runs through the full list in order, and the parent guide covers what the day itself may involve.

Fixtures, results and tables on the day

FindMeFootball helps on the day, too. Where a tournament uses it, organisers can publish fixtures, results, group tables and knockout brackets, so families can check the next kick-off, the table and their next opponent from the sideline rather than a printed sheet. You will see these tools on the listing where they are available.

Get alerts for new tournaments

Set an alert for your area and age group, and FindMeFootball will email you when an organiser lists a matching tournament in or near Yorkshire and the Humber. We need your email address, the age groups you follow and how far you will travel. We do not ask for a child's name, date of birth or personal profile.
