Summer of Sport 2026

Summer of Sport 2026

Summer of Sport 2026 is a national initiative supported by the Scottish Government and sportscotland, creating more opportunities for children and young people aged 3-26 to get active, stay active, and experience the benefits of sport and physical activity.

Alongside a packed programme of free or low-cost summer activities, the investment is designed to create a lasting legacy by strengthening pathways into school, club, and community sport through to March 2027 and beyond.
