Which Glasgow 2026 sport is listed for the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome?

Track cycling was the Glasgow 2026 sport listed for the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.

The velodrome forms part of the Emirates Arena complex in Glasgow’s East End. It is named after Sir Chris Hoy, the Scottish cyclist and multiple Olympic and Commonwealth champion. The venue was purpose-built for the 2014 Commonwealth Games and has since become one of Scotland’s best-known indoor cycling facilities.

For Glasgow 2026, the cycling programme was concentrated at the velodrome and focused on track events, including para-cycling. Unlike the original, broader plans associated with Victoria, the replacement Games used a reduced programme and relied heavily on established venues. The track’s controlled indoor setting is suited to sprint, pursuit and other timed cycling events.

Swimming was associated with the Tollcross International Swimming Centre, while boxing was staged elsewhere in Glasgow. Netball was also linked with a different arena in the 2014 Games, so none of those alternatives identifies the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.
