Glasgow hosts a vibrant and diverse programme of events year-round. Browse highlights below and visit our What's On calendar to find out more.
UEFA EURO 2028
UEFA has announced that the UK and Ireland will co-host EURO 2028. Glasgow is one of nine host cities, with the tournament running for approximately 4 weeks in the summer of 2028. The Scottish Government has launched a public consultation about proposed legislation for EURO 2028 in Scotland. The proposals would restrict street trading and advertising in designated event zones, and also seek to combat ticket touting. We want to hear from businesses that operate in and around potential event zones, as well as people living in these areas. Glasgow Life will also host drop-in sessions on 11 June (17:00-19:00) and 13 June (09:30-11:30) at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, where you can find out more and share your views.

Glasgow celebrates its 850th birthday in 2025. The city is building a yearlong, inclusive programme of events to mark this milestone. We'll reflect on how the city has transformed and how we can inspire change for a better, sustainable future. The River Clyde will be at the centre of this storytelling. as the lifeblood of the city.
European Capital of Sport 2023
Glasgow was honoured to be the first city to be named the European Capital of Sport for the second time in 2023. Sport is an integral part of life in Glasgow, from community clubs and volunteers to our world class facilities and the hosting of international events. The year encouraged participants, clubs, coaches, volunteers, and organisations to come together to improve lives through the power of sport.
