The Commonwealth Games will take place in Glasgow from July 23 to August 2, 2026. This edition of the Games will feature 10 sports, including boxing and athletics, across four venues in the city. Glasgow was selected as the host after the event's initial location in Victoria, Australia, was canceled due to financial issues. The Games will kick off with an opening ceremony at the OVO Hydro, featuring performances by international artists and local talent. Tickets are now available for purchase, with significant interest expected in athletics events. The event's planning focuses on a more cost-effective approach compared to previous years, resulting in fewer sports being included.
