Which sports are at the Commonwealth Games 2026? Full list of events

The Commonwealth Games 2026 is a streamlined event but there is still plenty of sport to sink your teeth into.

Glasgow is the venue again, 12 years after it first hosted, having stepped in to ensure the Games would go ahead after Victoria pulled out due to cost concerns.

As a result, this summer’s spectacle is scaled down in comparison to its predecessors. While at Birmingham 2022 there were nearly 5,000 athletes competing in 283 events across 20 sports at 15 venues, those numbers have dropped to around 3,000 athletes, 215 events, 10 sports and seven venues for Glasgow 2026.

It’s a shame to see some Games stalwarts, like hockey, rugby sevens, diving and badminton, go, but fans won’t be short on entertainment.

A record number of Para events are integrated into the Commonwealth Games 2026 schedule for what is set to be a real celebration of sport.

Radio Times brings you the full list of sports and events on show at the Commonwealth Games in 2026.
