Commonwealth Games 2026 schedule, start times and how to watch

Glasgow hosts a slimmed-down version of the Commonwealth Games as athletes from 74 nations and territories compete for gold in the Scottish city.

>Glasgow stepped in after the Australian state of Victoria backed out three years ago due to the cost of hosting the Games.

>The 10-sport programme, including six Para sports, will feature athletics, gymnastics, cycling and swimming - and will take place across four Glasgow venues.

>The 11,000-spectator Scotstoun Stadium will stage the athletics as well as the biggest home star of the Games, new mile world record holder Josh Kerr.

>The Games will be shown live across TNT Sports and HBO Max, rather than on the BBC or terrestrial television.

>Here is a closer look at the full day-by-day schedule for the Games, including every session for every sport
