Topping the dream list would be a FIFA World Cup Final at Wembley for just over a third.
Close behind is an FA Cup Final at Wembley for three in ten, while one in four fancy standing trackside at the London Marathon, and one in five want to see British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Brits are also willing to travel across the pond – with almost a quarter ready to go long-haul to Los Angeles for the 2028 Olympics 100m Final.
The glamorous Monaco Grand Prix, an American Football Super Bowl and a Champions League Final also made the cut for around 20 percent of those quizzed.
Reasons for sports-tripping included seeing a favourite sportsman or woman, bonding with mates and family or simply soaking up the atmosphere.
The poll was commissioned by luxury hotel chain Hyatt.
Hyatt spokesman Michel Morauw said: 'Sports-tripping is reaching fever pitch, and we're increasingly seeing more travellers with a passion for building their holidays around watching live sporting events."

They are joined by another club facing bankruptcy GAME OVER Iconic Italian football club where Pep Guardiola and Mario Balotelli played goes bankrupt and faces boot from league Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ITALIAN club over 100 YEARS OLD is set to go extinct after being declared bankrupt. Brescia - in the second-division Serie B - was left in debts over £2.5million and have been unable to pay them.

Recognisable names such as Roberto Baggio, Pep Guardiola, Andrea Pirlo, Luca Toni Marek Hamsík, Mario Balotelli and Roberto De Zerbi all played for the club. Balotelli spent a year with Brescia after signing in 2019 - scoring five in 19 games but he left after the club's relegation. Brescia is owned by Massimo Cellino - who was in chagrge of Leeds between 2014 and 2017 - before buying the Italian side. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL Pep's the word Grealish told his Man City career is OVER and he can go for cut-price fee But he had a troubled tenure in Yorkshire and left amid fan protests and much discontent. Brescia were promoted to Serie A in 2019 but were relegated in the very next season. Things went from bad to worse this campaign after they were deducted four points amid their financial woes. It saw them relegated to Serie C - but owner Cellino has not registered them in the wake of failing to pay off his debts. Brescia are now the only Italian side facing bankruptcy and expulsion from the league. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Spal, once of the Serie A, said in a statement: 'With great regret, the owners of Spal announce that the club will not participate in the 2025-26 Serie C campaign. 'It is a painful epilogue that arrived after numerous attempts to find concrete solutions that could guarantee the continuation of the project. 'Unfortunately, the current conditions do not make that possible. "In the last four years, the owners made significant financial efforts, investing €50m in liquidity, with €12m alone in the last season, in an attempt to relaunch Spal and give the city of Ferrara a team suited to its history and passion. 'However, the results were not satisfactory, nor proportional to the level of investment.'
