Nashville is ready to host the largest inclusive sports event in its history. From stellar venues to welcoming people ready to volunteer, this city is prepared to welcome Special Olympics athletes from around the country to our community in late June of 2030.

The 2030 Special Olympics USA Games will unite 4,000 athletes and coaches from all 50 states competing in 18 sports and over 125,000 spectators during one of the country’s most cherished sporting events. Special Olympics athletes display remarkable abilities on the field and in all areas of life. We become champions for a more inclusive world by celebrating their dedication and perseverance. The event will also have an estimated economic impact of $100 million.
