Glasgow, July 22, 2026
A galaxy of sporting stars, including Olympians and world champions, gathers in Glasgow for the 2026 Commonwealth Games, starting from July 23 and running till August 2. Olympic medallists Neeraj Chopra, Mirabai Chanu and Lovlina Borgohain will headline the Indian contingent.
The 23rd edition of the Commonwealth Games will feature just 10 sports, nine fewer than at Birmingham 2022, and six incredible Para sports with competitions spread across four venues within an eight-mile corridor: Scotstoun Stadium, Scottish Event Campus (SEC), the Glasgow International Arena and Tollcross International Swimming Centre.
Athletics & para-athletics, swimming & para-swimming, 3×3 basketball & 3×3 wheelchair basketball, track cycling & para-track cycling, weightlifting and para-powerlifting, bowls & para-bowls, artistic gymnastics, netball, boxing and judo make up the schedule for Glasgow 2026.
India won 61 medals at the last Commonwealth Games. In Glasgow, the nation sent a 125-member contingent, including para-athletics.
India’s athletics squad will be the big draw in Glasgow and will be led by javelin throw ace Neeraj Chopra, the 2018 Commonwealth Games champion. The team also includes several national record holders and major international medallists like Gurindervir Singh, Animesh Kujur and Murali Sreeshankar, among others.
India’s campaign for the Commonwealth Games 2026 begins on Thursday (July 23) with Lawn Bowls, an event that earned the country one gold and one silver medal in the 2022 Birmingham Games.
Australia topped the Birmingham 2022 medal table with 179 medals, including 67 golds. Team England was just three behind on 176. Team Scotland won 51 medals with 13 golds. They and other powerhouses Canada, India and New Zealand are all likely to contend for major honours again.
