The Commonwealth Games Federation has officially confirmed Glasgow as the host city of the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
The Games will take place in Scotland from Thursday July 23 to Sunday August 2.
Glasgow 2026 will feature a 10-sport programme concentrated across four venues, with six Para sports included on the programme.
The sports programme will include Athletics and Para Athletics (Track & Field), Swimming and Para Swimming, Artistic Gymnastics, Track Cycling and Para Track Cycling, Netball, Weightlifting and Para Powerlifting, Boxing, Judo, Bowls and Para Bowls, and 3×3 Basketball and 3×3 Wheelchair Basketball.
The Games will take place across four venues: Scotstoun Stadium, Tollcross International Swimming Centre, Emirates Arena – including the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, and the Scottish Event Campus (SEC). Athletes and support staff will be housed in hotel accommodation.
First Minister John Swinney said: “While Glasgow 2026 will look quite different to previous Games, we can, and we must, use this as an opportunity to work collaboratively to ensure that this new concept brings a strong and sustainable future for the Games.
“The Scottish Government is committed to playing its part in building that new vision.””
