Commonwealth Games 2026 Day 8 Preview: Full India Schedule, Match Timings, Medal Events & Live Streaming Details

Excitement builds at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games as the Indian contingent prepares for a jam-packed schedule on Day 8, featuring a blockbuster lineup of heavyweight medal showdowns, grueling athletic qualifiers, and intense finals.

Weightlifting action takes center stage early on the platform, with Martina Devi Maibam eyeing a podium finish in the women's 86+kg category, followed later by Lovepreet Singh competing in the men's 110+kg division.

On the track and field, Indian athletes will dive into action across multiple preliminary qualifiers and marquee finals, anchored by what is undoubtedly the crown jewel of the day's events: the men's javelin throw qualifiers.

All eyes will be locked on Tokyo Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra as he steps onto the runway alongside fellow compatriots Yash Vir Singh and Rohit Yadav, with the trio heavily favored to dominate and secure their tickets to the final.

Beyond the javelin runway, the excitement continues to build as Selva Prabhu Thirumaran and Praveen Chithravel take flight in the men's triple jump qualifiers, looking to stamp their authority among the elite and set the stage for a stellar medal hunt for the contingent.

The athletics arena will witness a busy integrated schedule featuring throwing and track stars. Samardeep Singh Gill and Tajinderpal Singh Toor will kick off their campaign in the men's shot put final, while Nidhi Rani and Seema Kaliramna take to the circle for the women's discus throw final.

While the multi-event disciplines usually draw immense focus, the decathlon lineup faces uncertainty as Tejaswin Shankar deals with an injury. Having sustained a setback, he is currently unlikely to appear for his scheduled events—including the 100m, long jump, shot put, high jump, and 400m—leaving India's combined-events campaign waiting anxiously on his final fitness assessment.

As the day transitions into the late session, attention will lock onto endurance and speed events, with Parul Chaudhary headlining the grueling women's 5000m final, alongside the men's 200m semi-finals and track cycling finals featuring Lisha Das and the men's team sprint.

The lawn bowls greens will witness fierce tactical battles as Nayanmoni Saikia steps up to face Malaysia's Emma Saroji in a crucial women's singles match.
