Movember joins forces with Rugby League to tackle men’s health head-on
The wait is over. After more than two decades, the Rugby League Ashes Series returns - and this time, it’s powered by purpose.
Movember is proud to be the Official Mental Fitness Partner of the Rugby League Ashes Series, bringing men’s health to the heart of the action when England take on Australia in a historic three-match Ashes Series kicking off on 25th October.
This partnership isn’t just about what happens on the pitch. We’re using the spotlight of international sport to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health.
A series with purpose
From Wembley Stadium to Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium and AMT Headingley Stadium, the Ashes Series will unite fans under one banner - men’s health.
Together with the Rugby League, we’re using the global stage of international sport to spark conversations, raise funds, and drive awareness around mental health and suicide prevention.
It’s a natural partnership. Rugby League is deeply rooted in local communities and those are the same places where we’re making the biggest impact. It’s a shared commitment to breaking the silence, opening up conversations, and supporting men across the UK to live happier, healthier, longer lives.
Backed by experience: Ahead of the Game
This partnership builds on a relationship with therugby league that’s already changing lives.
Through your donations, Movember’s award-winning mental fitness programme Ahead of the Game has made an impact across the UK. Designed by Movember and delivered by Rugby League Cares, the sport’s official charity, it has reached more than 41,000 young players, coaches, and parents nationwide.
The programme teaches players how to spot the signs of mental health issues, speak up, and support each other. It’s received incredible feedback from clubs, parents, and young athletes alike.
Moustache season is here
