Commonwealth Games 2026: Full List Of India's Events, Dates To Watch In Glasgow

The XXIII Commonwealth Games is officially set to run from July 23 to August 2, 2026, in Glasgow, Scotland. Returning to the Scottish city for the first time since 2014, this pared-down, 10-sport edition promises an intense festival of multi-sport action across iconic venues like Scotstoun Stadium and the Emirates Arena.

For India, Glasgow 2026 presents a unique challenge. With traditional strongholds like shooting, wrestling, badminton, and hockey excluded from the trimmed program, India's 125-member contingent faces a tough battle to match past mega-halls. Nevertheless, projections place India comfortably aiming for 35 to 45 medals, with core strength shifting heavily toward athletics, weightlifting, and boxing.

Leading the charge is Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra, who returns to the Commonwealth stage looking to reclaim gold in the javelin throw. He is joined by fellow track-and-field medal hopefuls like rising javelin star Rohit Yadav, triple jumper Praveen Chithravel, and versatile decathlete Tejaswin Shankar.

In weightlifting, three-time reigning medalist Mirabai Chanu remains a prime favorite to secure another yellow metal. Meanwhile, the boxing contingent is heavily banked on rising young puncher Preeti Pawar, who brings stellar international form into her weight category.

Despite a reduced program, India's elite athletes remain primed to stamp their authority and finish among the top tier of the global medal table.
