Children playing sport.

Free and low-cost sport activities are available for young people in Edinburgh this summer.

We have secured funding through the national Summer of Sport initiative, in partnership with sportscotland.

Young people aged 3 to 26 can try a range of activities, delivered for free or at low cost by local partners throughout the summer and beyond.

Activities are inspired by 2 major sporting events coming to Scotland

  • the 2026 FIFA World Cup
  • the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games

More details will be added to this page as they are confirmed. Check back for updates on how to get involved.
