2026 Commonwealth Games: Smaller Event in Glasgow with Ten Sports

As of January 28, 2025, the 2025 Commonwealth Games are not currently taking place. The next Commonwealth Games are scheduled for 2026, and they will be hosted by Glasgow. This event will be a downsized version, featuring only ten sports and no athlete village. The decision to hold a smaller event was made after the original host, Victoria, was unable to proceed with the original plans.
