SLX will provide its lighting and rigging services providing LED fixtures across the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and Arena, Scotstoun Stadium, Tollcross International Swimming Centre, and the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) throughout the Games next summer.   

SLX brings a wealth of global sporting event experience having supported Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, the Glasgow 2018 European Championships and the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. This track record, alongside detailed knowledge of the venues and existing collaborations with Glasgow Life and venue teams, played a central role in securing the appointment. 

As one of the first in its industry to achieve B Corp certification, SLX’s appointment reflects the sustainable and inclusive delivery model that Glasgow 2026 will bring to life. The company is committed to sourcing 50% of its crew from Glasgow and through its in-house Impact Service, SLX will support Glasgow 2026 to stage a technically innovative and environmentally responsible Games. 

Alastair Currie, Chief Executive, SLX, said: “We are delighted to be appointed as the Official Broadcast Lighting and Rigging Provider for Glasgow 2026. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a bold new vision for the Games - one that’s inclusive, sustainable and focused on showcasing the best of Glasgow’s venues and communities. Our team looks forward to playing its part in creating a stage worthy of the athletes, the city, and the Commonwealth.” 

Phil Batty OBE, Chief Executive, Glasgow 2026 said “The UK has a strong track record in delivering major sporting events and SLX has been central to the success of many of these global moments. In Birmingham 2022, SLX was a creative, solutions-focused supplier who enhanced the sporting experience through innovation and an emphasis on quality. We are really pleased to welcome them back to the Commonwealth Games family to deliver a brilliant Glasgow 2026.” 

Kate Cullen, Head of Overlay, Glasgow 2026 said “SLX’s world-class expertise and shared values of innovation and sustainability will ensure that Glasgow 2026 comes to life with carefully designed lighting solutions that meet the requirements for both sport and broadcast.
