Tennents Sixes indoor football tournament returns in October 2026

The Tennents Sixes, a beloved indoor football tournament that was a staple of Scottish football in the 1980s and 1990s, is set to make a comeback more than three decades after its last edition. The revived event will take place at Braehead Arena in Glasgow on the weekend of October 3 and 4, 2026, featuring legends from all 12 Scottish Premiership clubs.

The tournament, which originally ran annually from 1984 to 1993, will be officially endorsed by the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) and jointly organized by the SPFL and Braehead Arena. All 12 William Hill Premiership clubs have committed to participating, with former players representing their teams while wearing the official club kits of the current 2026-27 season. The entire event will be broadcast live on Premier Sports.

A key difference from the original competition is that the revived format will feature retired players rather than active first-team stars. The original Sixes was fiercely competitive, with clubs selecting six of their prime players to compete in a fast-paced, small-sided format. The new legends version aims to capture the nostalgia of the original while creating a family-friendly experience.
