SHOWCASE YOUR FILM AT THE 2026 VEGAS SUMMER LEAGUE FILM FESTIVAL

Calling All Sports Film Directors & Storytellers:
Applications are now open to submit your project to showcase at the 2026 Vegas Summer League Film Festival.

We are seeking films which offer originality, fresh perspectives and untold stories within the sports world. Whether it’s an underdog’s journey to triumph, an exploration of the cultural impact of sports on communities, or a deep dive into the personal struggles and victories of athletes off the field, we want narratives that resonate on a human level.

We anticipate several studios and decision makers on site, and all selected filmmakers will receive an invite to a private SLFF Tip Off event, attended by top athletes, agents, and industry professionals.
