The Men's 1500 metre freestyle event at the 2010 Commonwealth Games took place on 8 and 9 October 2010, at the SPM Swimming Pool Complex.[1]
Two heats were held. The heat in which a swimmer competed did not formally matter for advancement, as the swimmers with the top eight times from the entire field qualified for the finals.[1]
