Skateboard GB National Championships 2024 comes to Glasgow: Dates, location & how to watch

A number of the most talented skateboarders from all around the United Kingdom are heading to Glasgow later this month as part of the 2024 GB National Championships.

Skateboarding is a sport that is rapidly rising in popularity after making it’s debut in the Olympic games in 2020 and it was hugely popular in terms of viewing figures during Paris as fans of Team GB cheered on the likes of Sky Brown and Andy Macdonald. So far Team GB has won bronze medals in both the 2020 and 2024 editions but fans have high hopes that the next generation of talent can achieve even greater things at the next event in the 2028 summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

The GB National Championship plays a key role in Team GB’s selection process for the Olympic games, and is an occasion that gives skateboarding enthusiasts the opportunity to recognise the incredible talents of some of the best up and coming prospects in the United Kingdom.

With that in mind we take a look at all the details surrounding this year’s event at The Loading Bay Skatepark and all the key ticket details to be aware of.
