The world's longest-running TV sports quiz show has announced it is coming to Leeds as part of its first tour in 10 years.
A Question of Sport, which has been on our screens for more than 50 years, is hitting the road in 2021 for its biggest ever live tour.
It will be the last chance to watch host Sue Barker and team captains Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell before they step down from the show next year.
The trio will be joined by a host of big names from the world of sport and will be heading to the Leeds First Direct Arena on Sunday, November 28 as part of the 16-date tour.
The interactive event will also see audience members get involved in some rounds, including the traditional ‘Sprint Finish’ finale.
Sue Barker said: "I cannot believe 2021 marks 24 years since I first joined A Question of Sport and I cannot think of a better way to bring the curtain down on my time on the show than with a live tour.
"The live shows are always hilarious, the interaction with the guests and the audience so special, we cannot wait for this.”
Matt Dawson added: "It’s been 10 years since our last tour so it goes without saying that we’re all really looking forward to going out on the road again.
"2020 was A Question of Sport’s 50th anniversary and we were gutted the live tour had to be postponed but we are determined to make up for it in 2021!"
Phil Tufnell said: "We’ve all had so much fun down the years. The show has been a huge part of all our lives and the live tours always stick in the mind as a real highlight.
"This tour is going to be very special for everyone involved and the perfect way for Matt, Sue and me to pass the baton on to the new QoS team."
Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday, November 20 at ticketmaster.co.uk.
