The Pride Games

The Pride Games is an annual LGBTQ+ and gay-friendly sports tournament weekend that brings together athletes and allies from across the country. Typically held in the fall, the event features a variety of recreational sports, including kickball, dodgeball, pickleball, and volleyball. It's more than just a competition; it's a three-day celebration of community, sportsmanship, and Pride, complete with parties and social events.

Hosted by Pride Sports USA, The Pride Games aims to be inclusive for all skill levels, welcoming both seasoned athletes and those new to sports. The organization emphasizes creating a fun and affirming environment where participants can compete, connect, and celebrate their identities. The host city for the upcoming fall 2027 games is yet to be announced, but Washington D.C. has been a previous host and remains a strong possibility given its vibrant LGBTQ+ scene.

Attendees can look forward to a weekend filled with athletic activities, social mixers, and opportunities to meet new people. It's a fantastic way to engage with the LGBTQ+ community through a shared love for sports and recreation. Information regarding registration, specific dates, and the host city for 2027 will be released by Pride Sports USA on their official channels.
