Emirates Arena is being renamed Glasgow International Arena, with work now underway to transform the venue’s external look and enhance how it connects with the city.

New signage will be installed, alongside two large outdoor screens, which will highlight the variety of different things on offer at the arena, including upcoming events. They will also share wider city messaging and open up commercial opportunities.

The change follows the end of the previous naming rights agreement and reflects the venue’s growing role as a home for world-class sport, live events and music.

Since opening in 2012, the arena has played a key role in strengthening Glasgow’s reputation as Scotland’s sporting capital. This next phase, as the Glasgow International Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, builds on that legacy, while evolving to meet the needs of audiences, athletes and performers alike.

With the return of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games this summer, the timing marks an important moment to present a stronger identity to visitors from across Scotland and beyond.
