Commonwealth Games 2026: The 23rd edition of the Commonwealth Games is set to get underway in Glasgow on Thursday with top Indian stars like Neeraj Chopra, Mirabai Chanu with debutants Gurindervir Singh, Sarvesh Kushare, and Gyaneshwari Yadav set to take centre-stage.

The CWG 2026 was initially bagged by Victoria, who decided to withdraw their hosting rights and it subsequently went to Glasgow – who decided to hold the organisation instead. However, the number of disciplines has subsequently come down from 19 in the 2022 edition to only 10 this year.

The sports programme in CWG 2026 includes Athletics, Swimming, Artistic Gymnastics, Track Cycling, Netball, Weightlifting, Boxing, Judo, Bowls, and 3×3 Basketball. With India slated to host the next Commonwealth Games in 2030, the Indian athletes will look to put their best foot forward at Glasgow and set the tone for Ahmedabad.
