Glasgow 2026 is preparing to launch ticket sales for next year's Commonwealth Games. Later this month, people registered with Glasgow 2026 will get exclusive access to the ticket pre-sale. With only 500,000 tickets up for grabs and tens of thousands of people already signed up, organisers are urging fans to act fast. Pre-registration closes at 23.59pm on Thursday 16 October, giving sports fans just a week to secure their place at the front of the queue.

Next summer, more than 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories will descend on Glasgow to compete in a packed sporting programme featuring ten sports and six para sports. For the first time, local communities will get priority access to tickets, ensuring Glasgow fans can be part of the action as their city takes centre stage.

Tickets go on sale in a week, with prices starting from just £26 for medal sessions and £17 for non-medal sessions. Concession tickets will be available from £12, making it easier than ever to experience the electric atmosphere of the Games in person.

• Pre-sale one – Glasgow area: fans with G postcodes will have exclusive access to tickets from noon on Tuesday 21 October, provided they pre-register by 23.59pm on Thursday 16 October. This window closes at 9am on Friday 24 October.

George Black CBE, chair of Glasgow 2026, said: 'Glasgow 2026 is going to be an unforgettable celebration of sport, with half a million tickets available to experience world-class athletes competing in one of the most exciting Games programmes ever staged.

‘We know demand will be unprecedented, which is why we are announcing our presales for Glasgow and Scotland, giving local communities priority access to grab a front row seat and be at the heart of the action. We know the crowd in Scotland will create an electric atmosphere and we can’t wait for everybody to be part of the Games in Glasgow next summer.’
