The 2026 Commonwealth Games, officially known as the XXIII Commonwealth Games, is a planned multi-sport event for members of the Commonwealth of Nations. The 2026 Commonwealth Games would be the first to be held during the reign of King Charles III.
The games were without a host after the withdrawal of the Australian state of Victoria which was initially announced as the host in April 2022,[1] after two months of an exclusive dialogue process with the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF).[2][3] On 18 July 2023, the Victorian state government announced it had cancelled its plans to host the games, citing an escalation in its cost projections relative to initial estimations. The city of the Gold Coast in Queensland offered to co-host the games with Victoria, but later withdrew their offer for the same reason. If no replacement was found, there was a possibility that the games would have been postponed to 2027 or cancelled.[4][5][6]
On 11 August 2024, it was reported that an agreement was reached for Glasgow to take over the hosting rights of the games.[7] However, a further report the next day stated that while talks were underway, no agreement had yet been made and no announcement was imminent. Commonwealth Game Scotland has proposed a "scaled back" event featuring only 10 to 13 sports and using the city's existing infrastructure and £100m funding to be provided from the Commonwealth Games Federation and an additional £30 to 50 million from commercial sources with no significant public funds being required.[8]
