The Invictus Games story

We’re incredibly proud to be supporting Team UK to compete at the Invictus Games.

The Invictus Games is an international multi-sport event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veterans.

It uses the power of sport to inspire recovery and support rehabilitation

The Duke of Sussex was inspired to create the Invictus Games after visiting the Warrior Games in America 2013.

The first Invictus Games took place in London in 2014 and was followed by games in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022 and 2023

In 2025 the Invictus Games was held in Whistler and Vancouver, and featured winter sports for the first time, including Nordic Skiing, Skeleton, and Wheelchair Curling.

In 2027 the Invictus Games will return to the UK for the first time since the inaugural Games in 2014, and will be held in Birmingham.
