UK Sport publishes a full breakdown of funding to UK national governing bodies across all Olympic and Paralympic Games cycles.

Current funding awards for the Los Angeles 2028 cycle ( https://www.uksport.gov.uk/our-work/investing-in-sport/current-funding-awards ) can be found on UK Sport’s website as well as historical funding figures for the Rio, Tokyo and Paris Games ( https://www.uksport.gov.uk/our-work/investing-in-sport/historical-funding-figures ).

Based on these published allocations, UK Sport has invested approximately £1.25 billion directly into Olympic and Paralympic performance sports programmes since the Rio 2016 cycle.
