ONE CITY.  ELEVEN DAYS. YOUR GAMES.

Glasgow 2026 is a celebration of sport, culture and community - all set within an eight-mile corridor that brings fans, athletes and the city together. 

Thousands of athletes from 74 nations and territories will compete in 215 medal events across 10 sports and six Para sports. But the action doesn’t stop where the competition ends. 

With live entertainment, cultural events, family activities and festival experiences across Glasgow, the atmosphere will extend far beyond the competition venues.  

Whether you’re looking for what’s on during the Games or keen to make the most of your time in the city before or after an event, there’s plenty to discover. 

These Games are ours. Altogether brilliant. Come and be part of it. 

Getting Around Town 

Glasgow 2026 is set to be an unforgettable celebration of world-class sport, culture and community spirit. With thousands of athletes, spectators and visitors travelling across the city between 23 July and 2 August, planning ahead will help everyone enjoy a smooth, safe and brilliant Games.

The Games has been designed with a lighter, more flexible footprint, using existing venues and well-connected transport routes. This means the city will remain open and moving, with minimal disruption to daily life.

Most people will be able to travel as normal, but some areas will be busier at peak times, especially around competition venues and during session changeovers. The main transport hubs in the city centre are likely to be busier during the Games, particularly before and after sessions. For detailed guidance visit our venue and live site pages. 

Glasgow is a well‑connected city with excellent public transport links. During the Games, walking, cycling and public transport will be the easiest ways to get around. Train, subway and bus services will continue to operate as normal, with some services expected to be busier at peak times. Where temporary changes are required, these will be clearly signposted and supported by alternative options.

Top travel tips to help make your journey as smooth as possible:

• Plan your journey in advance and check for the latest travel information before you set off.
• Buy tickets ahead of time where possible to save time on the day.
• Allow extra time for your journey, as services and routes may be busier than usual.
• Check your venue's spectator guide before travelling for the best transport options and any local travel advice.
• Follow the guidance of staff and volunteers, who will be on hand to help throughout the Games.
