Members of the National Defence League are calling on "all loyalists" to demonstrate against the event- meeting on Cambridge Street at 11.30am.
Police Scotland say that as with any event, planning is in place and it will be "policed appropriately" to "ensure the safety of all involved and of the winder community".
Bloody Sunday saw 14 unarmed civilians killed by British soldiers during a protest march in 1972.
