February 4, 2026, marks National Girls & Women in Sports Day (NGWSD®)! This annual celebration inspires girls and women to play and be active, to realize their full power. The confidence, strength and character gained through sports participation are the very tools girls and women need to become strong leaders in sports and life. The Women's Sports Foundation® (WSF®) ushers in 2026 energized to continue empowering girls and women and to creating pathways for lifelong participation in sports. We appreciate all who have, and continue to, support us in our mission - and join us on this important day.
A vibrant movement we celebrate annually, NGWSD honors the achievements of women athletes, coaches and leaders, and the power of sports to unlock their limitless potential.
WSF applauds the vital role played by the individuals and organizations who join us in championing this effort: advocates seeking to protect Title IX and advance gender equity, athletes using their platform to inspire greatness, and coaches and community leaders working daily to promote play.
