Who is commentating on Womens 200m Individual Medley SM10 Final at Glasgow 2026? How to watch on TNT Sports 2 and HBO Max

Match date: 24 July 2026

Glasgow 2026 continues its swimming programme on TNT Sports 2 and HBO Max in the UK, with the Women’s 200m Individual Medley SM10 Final part of the action at Tollcross International Swimming Centre. The event is scheduled for the evening finals session, with UK viewers able to watch live through TNT Sports and HBO Max, while Channel 5 is carrying free-to-air highlights each evening. [1][8]

The broadcast team for this race features Becky Ives as presenter, with James Parrack and Grace Harvey sharing main commentary duties and Ellie Simmonds as pundit. That line-up gives the coverage a strong blend of studio experience, race analysis and elite para-swimming insight, especially valuable for an SM10 final where classification, pacing and technical execution are all central to the outcome.

James Parrack is a familiar voice in British swimming coverage and has long been associated with analysis of major aquatic competitions, while Grace Harvey brings current para-swimming expertise as an athlete who has competed at the highest level internationally. Ellie Simmonds, one of Britain’s most recognised para-swimmers, brings major championship experience and a record of success that includes Paralympic gold medals, making her a particularly authoritative voice for this event. Becky Ives is a regular presenter across major sports broadcasts and is often used on live event coverage where clear transitions, athlete context and event pacing matter.

The Glasgow swimming competition is taking place from Friday 24 July to Wednesday 29 July at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre, the same venue that hosted the swimming at Glasgow 2014. Finals sessions begin at 7pm, which means this race sits comfortably within primetime viewing for UK audiences. [1][2][7]

For this specific programme, the Women’s 200m Individual Medley SM10 Final is listed among the Para swimming events on the opening day of the competition, with the broader Para swimming schedule running across the six-day programme. The SM10 class is for swimmers with physical impairment, and the 200m individual medley combines butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle, making it one of the most demanding races in the pool.

Coverage of Glasgow 2026 is notable because the Games are being shown live on TNT Sports and HBO Max rather than the BBC or traditional terrestrial television. For British viewers, that means a subscription is required for live access, although the free highlights package on Channel 5 offers a broader route to following the competition. [1][8]

The event also carries wider interest because Scotland is hosting the swimming at the same venue used in 2014, and the Games return to Glasgow with a compact programme designed to keep finals sessions stacked with medal races. That should make this SM10 final a key part of the evening schedule, especially for viewers following para-swimming and British medal hopes. [7][11]
