Who is commentating Glasgow 2026 CWG Men’s 100m Freestyle S13 Final on TNT Sports 2 and HBO Max?
Match date:
The Men’s 100m Freestyle S13 Final at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games will be shown in the UK on HBO Max and TNT Sports 2 HD, with coverage presented by Becky Ives and commentary from James Parrack, Grace Harvey and Michael Jamieson. The swimming and para-swimming programme runs from 24 to 29 July 2026 at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre, which is the main venue for the competition in Glasgow.[1][2]
The session featuring this final is scheduled for 19:30 UK time on 24 July 2026, placing it on the opening day of the swimming competition.[1][2] Glasgow 2026 has a particularly busy aquatic programme, with a record number of events across the week, underlining how central swimming and para-swimming are to these Commonwealth Games.[2][5]
Becky Ives is a familiar face in British sports broadcasting and has become one of the regular presenters associated with TNT Sports coverage. Her role on major championships is typically to anchor live action, set up races and guide viewers through the evening session alongside analysts and commentators. James Parrack, a former Olympic swimmer for Great Britain, has long been a respected swimming broadcaster and pundit, bringing experience of elite racing to live commentary. Michael Jamieson is also a highly credible voice in the sport: the Scottish swimmer won Olympic silver in the 200m breaststroke at London 2012 and has since moved into punditry and broadcasting, giving him first-hand insight into the pressures of championship competition. Grace Harvey, a leading British para-swimmer, adds current-athlete perspective to the coverage, which is especially relevant for a para event such as the S13 final.
The S13 classification is used in para-swimming for athletes with a visual impairment, and finals in this category are usually among the most technically demanding races on the programme because starts, turns and race awareness are so important. That makes experienced commentary especially valuable for viewers, particularly when the broadcast team includes both former international swimmers and a current para-swimming voice.
For viewers in Britain, the key takeaway is straightforward: if you want to watch the race live, tune in via TNT Sports 2 HD or stream it on HBO Max in the UK. The Commonwealth Games swimming schedule at Tollcross runs across six days and includes both able-bodied and para-swimming medals, with finals featured in the evening sessions.[1][2][5]
More information about the broader competition can be found on the official Commonwealth Games preview of Tollcross, which notes that swimming and para swimming return to the Glasgow venue for a major 2026 programme.[5]
