The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) GB will be the Official Soft Drinks Partners to the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games and an Official Partner of Team Scotland.
The partnership was announced at CCEP’s East Kilbride manufacturing site, where Glasgow 2026 CEO Phil Batty, Team Scotland Chief Executive Jon Doig and Scottish gymnast Eilidh Gorrell toured local operations with CCEP East Kilbride Site Director Seamus Kerrigan.
Glasgow 2026 will run from 23 July to 2 August across four venues in Glasgow, with around 3,000 athletes from across 74 nations and territories competing in 10 sports and six para sports. CCEP is a returning Games sponsor and was also the Official Soft Drink Provider for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
At Glasgow 2026, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Powerade and Smartwater will be the Official Soft Drink, Sports Drink and Water providers, respectively.
To support Glasgow 2026’s ambition to deliver a greener Games[1], CCEP is partnering with environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful on a project to clean up riverbanks closest to the sports venues near the River Clyde. CCEP will provide funding and volunteer support to the initiative.
The waste collected will support the Royal Commonwealth Society’s Commonwealth Clean Oceans Plastics Campaign, which is running as part of the King’s Baton Relay across all 74 nations and territories of the Commonwealth, with a mission to prevent one million pieces of plastic from entering Commonwealth waterways before the Games commence.
CCEP will also work with venue waste management teams to support recycling efforts throughout the Games. All CCEP bottles sold at venue outlets will be recyclable, and its 500ml range is made from 100% recycled plastic.[2]
