Which time zone does the Glasgow 2026 schedule use?

Which time zone does the Glasgow 2026 schedule use? It uses British Summer Time. The published competition calendar labels all event times as BST, or UTC+1, matching the local time in Glasgow during the Games.

British Summer Time is the United Kingdom’s daylight-saving time designation. It begins in spring when clocks move one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and ends in autumn, so Glasgow will be on BST throughout the 23 July–2 August 2026 Games.

A common mix-up is choosing Greenwich Mean Time because Glasgow lies on the Greenwich meridian’s time-zone basis. GMT is the UK’s winter standard time; BST is the summer observance used for this schedule. Central European Time is also one hour ahead of GMT, but it is not the UK’s official label.
