Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games

Three venues will host sports competitions:

• Tollcross International Swimming Centre – Swimming & Para Swimming
• Glasgow International Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome – Track Cycling, Para Track Cycling & Artistic Gymnastics
• Scotstoun Sports Campus – Athletics & Para Athletics

In addition, the Tennis Hall at Glasgow Club Gorbals is being used for a short time.

While the three competition venues will be unavailable during the published closure dates, Glasgow Club membership continues to give you access to all other Glasgow Club venues across the city. Some venues may be slightly busier than usual, so it’s a good idea to make the most of your member benefit and book your activities up to 7 days in advance to secure your space.

You can also access fitness at home in our app, giving you plenty of ways to keep active. If you’d like help choosing an alternative, our venue team will be happy to help, or you can contact our Customer Experience team at glasgow.club@glasgowlife.org.uk

You can find information on which facilities are available at each event venue (and when) here.

• Website pages - we have created a special page on the Glasgow Life website as the single source of information, detailing all you need to know about the impact of the Games on our venues as well as other Games related information. You can find this here.
• Signage in venues
• Glasgow Life social media channels

In addition, Glasgow Club members will receive updates through:

• In-app notifications (Don’t miss out, read our guide on managing notifications)
• Email updates
• Glasgow Club social media channels
• Glasgow Club website

While Scotstoun Sports Campus, the Glasgow International Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, and Tollcross International Swimming Centre temporarily close to support this event, we’re making it as easy as possible for you to keep active. All other venues across the city will remain open as usual, and the vast majority of fitness classes, lessons and sport sessions have been relocated, helping you continue with your activities wherever possible.
 
Our programme teams have been in touch directly with updated details, and our venue teams are available to help you find the most suitable alternatives so you can keep moving and stay active. You can also view the relocated fitness class timetable on our Glasgow Club website.

Its also a great opportunity to try Glasgow Club+, our virtual club in the Glasgow Club app, where you’ll find a variety of classes and workouts led by our fitness class coaches, our gym team and the popular Les Mills team too!

It’s included with all FitClub and ActivClub membership plans and you can cast videos from our app to your smart TV, laptop or other large screen.

You can enjoy:

• On-demand classes such as Les Mills, yoga, Pilates, Step, LBT and more
• Targeted workouts including stretching, core and warm-ups

We hope the range of alternative venues and virtual options makes it easy for you to stay active during this period. If travelling isn’t practical for you, you can stop your direct debit instruction to pay Culture & Sport Glasgow at your bank any time after your June payment has been collected and before the next payment date on 7 July.

You’re always welcome to re-join at a time that suits you, and we’ll be happy to support you when you’re ready to return.

If we need to make any changes, we’ll contact families directly with clear options. Your space will be protected and reinstated as soon as the venue returns to its usual programme.

To make sure you don’t miss any important updates, please let your local coordinator know if you’ve changed your email recently.

Our team will contact you to discuss your booking and any suitable alternatives. We’ll do our very best to accommodate your group in a nearby venue, as we do whenever events take place.
