Sports Labs Ltd.

Founded in 1998, Sports Labs has grown from its beginnings in Glasgow into one of the world’s leading authorities in sports surface testing, consultancy, and innovation. With operations spanning the UK, Europe, Africa, and beyond, our mission is simple — to ensure every pitch, track, and court performs safely, sustainably, and to the highest possible standard.

We work with international governing bodies including FIFA, World Rugby, the International Hockey Federation (FIH), the International Handball Federation (IHF), and the International Tennis Federation (ITF), providing independent expertise across field testing, laboratory analysis, and consultancy. From elite stadiums hosting global tournaments to community sports facilities, our testing and guidance help create surfaces that inspire confidence and enable performance.

Our laboratory in Livingston is equipped with state-of-the-art technology for product certification, performance evaluation, and forensic material analysis, while our field teams operate worldwide, delivering precision testing for everything from goal-line technology (GLT) and equipment validation to full pitch performance testing.

Beyond testing, our consultancy division guides clients through every step of facility development — from feasibility studies and design to procurement, tendering, and project management — ensuring every surface is fit for purpose and future-ready.

Pioneering innovation and sustainability in sport, we continue to push boundaries in testing technology, product development, and data-driven performance insight. At Sports Labs, we don’t just test — we help shape the future of play.
