Glasgow 2026: Dates and times for 3x3 basketball announced

And 3x3 Basketball and 3x3 Wheelchair Basketball will take centre stage at the Scottish Exhibition Campus on the first weekend of the Games on 24, 25 and 26 July, as England look to follow their historic gold and silver medals from Birmingham 2022 in style.

The Games will run from 23 July to the 2 August, with 3x3 Basketball and 3x3 Wheelchair Basketball featuring from the 24 July to the 29 July. 

There has been an increase of the number of teams competing in the running and wheelchair basketball competitions from Birmingham, with a quota of 12 men's and women's teams, meaning that there are three additional sessions across the six days of basketball competition. 

The medal ceremony session will take place in the evening of the 29 July, 4.30-9.30pm. 

Glasgow 2026 schedule

BE's 3x3 Development Manager Meehra Gorasia said: 

"The confirmation of the Glasgow 2026 schedule is another exciting milestone in the build up to the Commonwealth Games. 

"Three extra sessions of 3x3 basketball for fans to enjoy reflects the growing popularity of the short format and with the bulk of the action happening during the opening weekend of the Games, means basketball is set to gain a whole host of new fans and inspired players. 

"English preparations are well underway and we're ready to make a statement once again when competition tips-off next year."

200 medals to be won

Running from 23 July to 2 August, the Games will bring together 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories to compete across 10 sports and six Para sports, with more than 200 medals to be won in 50 medal sessions. Events will take place in four of Scotland’s most iconic venues, the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and Arena, Scotstoun Stadium, Tollcross International Swimming Pool and the Scottish Exhibition Campus (SEC).
