Statistics on participation in sport: findings from the 2024/25 Continuous Household Survey.
The bulletin presents analysis, including by demographic group and area, on the following topics:
- Sport participation
- Types of sport
- Sports club membership
Data collection for the 2024/25 CHS was carried out using a mix of telephone and face-to-face interviewing modes, a similar approach to that used in 2022/23 and 2023/24. For 2020/21 and 2021/22 data collection was by telephone interviewing due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. There was also a reduction in the number of questions between 2020/21-2022/23. As a result, the figures from 2020/21 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to the significant changes to the survey in terms of methodology and content.
Following an online user survey during summer 2025, statistics previously included in the ‘Wellbeing and engagement in culture, arts, heritage and sport by adults in Northern Ireland’ publication are now included in the Experience of culture, arts and heritage by adults in Northern Ireland and Experience of sport by adults in Northern Ireland reports.
