How it works

Open opportunity data helps activity providers reach more people.

1. Get your activities online

Use any listing system or booking system. If you don’t use one yet, it’s quick and easy to set up.

2. Tick the box to open your data

If your system is OpenActive-enabled, tick the box. Otherwise, ask your system to add the tick box.

3. Your activities are available everywhere

From websites and apps that attract millions of users, to communities and services that engage local people.

4. You reach more people

Across a wide range of demographics, without any additional effort.

OPEN YOUR DATA

Opportunity Data

Open ‘opportunity data’ is about where and when sport and physical activities happen.

This data can be made available for anyone to access, use, and share, helping consumers to discover and take part in new activities, and providers to more accurately tailor and grow their services.

By encouraging organisations to publish their data openly and to a commonly agreed standard, we are not only facilitating open sharing across individual websites, but building a connected, online community that’s free to grow and innovate in response to its consumers’ needs.
