Following a hugely successful, sold-out run earlier this year that reunited Sue Barker, Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell on stage, Sue, Matt & Phil Live! The Reunion Tour is set to return with a new set of UK dates for 2026.
This much-loved trio from one of Britain’s most iconic TV quiz shows will be back in April and May, ready to entertain audiences – and put their sporting knowledge to the test – all over again.
The tour kicks off in Edinburgh on 24 April, before heading to Glasgow, Newcastle, Stoke, Sheffield, Cardiff, Liverpool, Eastbourne and Southend, and rounding off with a finale in Portsmouth.
The Telegraph hailed the 2025 tour as “lively entertainment” and noted that “a standing ovation spoke of a deep bond between performers and audience.”
Packed with fan-favourite quiz rounds and brand-new elements created especially for this tour, each night will also feature a rotating panel of special guest sporting superstars – with the line-ups to be revealed closer to the time. Audience members will even have the chance to pit their sporting knowledge against Matt, Phil and their teams without leaving their seats.
Fronted by Sue Barker, with team captains Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell, the show thrives on the trio’s trademark chemistry, quick-fire banter, and easy charm – qualities that have made them firm favourites with viewers for years. Alongside the laughs and competition, expect behind-the-scenes stories from their on-screen days and career highlights – the kind of tales you won’t hear on TV.

“I can’t believe we get to have another crack at this! Last time was such a blast, and now we get to take the show to even more corners of the UK — I can’t wait!”
Phil Tufnell
“Hitting the road again with Sue and Matt? Always a giggle. No two nights are ever the same as you never quite know what’s coming next, and that’s half the fun!”

“We were just blown away by the amazing reaction to the shows earlier this year. Honestly, the three of us had such a wonderful time together. We can’t wait to do it again!”
