This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2026.
In this special live edition of New Scientist’s award-winning podcast, host Rowan Hooper is joined by very special guests to delve into the question of how advances in medicine, data and sports science are giving modern football teams a cutting edge on their rivals and might prove the difference between lifting this summer’s World Cup and collecting a runner up medal.
Joining Rowan are a panel of expert guests including:
Together they’ll explore how performance science can give players that extra 1% and how the use of AI is revolutionising everything from injury management to football tactics. There’ll even be a chance for you to put your own questions to the expert panel.
This event will be held in Theatre 1 at the Royal Society on Tuesday 30 June 2026, 6.45pm – 8pm.
