The Commonwealth Games 2026 will start from July 23. This year the competition will be held in Glasgow, Scotland. The Commonwealth Games, comprising 21 sports events, were to be held in Victoria, Australia, but due to rising costs, they decided to abandon the host. As a result, the Games are held in Glasgow, with only 10 major sports and a total of 215 medal events. The Commonwealth Games 2026 will begin on July 23 and end on August 2. Around 126 Indian athletes are participating in the Commonwealth Games this year.
