Do not miss

With so much action going on, it can be hard to keep up with everything.

Here is one thing to keep an eye on every day of the Games.

Thursday 23 July - the Glasgow 2026 Opening Ceremony will take place at the iconic Hydro arena.

Expect a celebratory atmosphere, stunning visuals, and breathtaking performances, as the city of Glasgow officially welcomes the Games.

Friday 24 July - three-time Olympic champion Adam Ramsay-Peaty will begin his quest for more 100m breaststroke glory in the heats on Friday morning. 

It is an event and a pool that Ramsay-Peaty knows well - he shocked London 2012 Olympic champion Cameron van der Burgh to win gold as a 19-year-old at Glasgow 2014.

Should he reach the final, a Saturday night showdown awaits, with the men’s 100m breaststroke final taking place the following evening.

Saturday 25 July - Team England’s men’s 3x3 basketball team are reigning Commonwealth champions, having beaten Australia in overtime in the Birmingham 2022 final to claim the coveted gold. 

Looking to repeat the feat four years later, Jamell Anderson is joined by Ashley Hamilton, Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye, and Evan Walshe, as the team get their Games under way against Jamaica on Saturday morning.

Monday 27 July - reigning World Indoor 1500m champion Georgia Hunter-Bell is set to showcase her 800m talent in Glasgow.

The event kicks off with heats on Monday evening, before semi-finals on Wednesday 29 July, and the final two days later.

Thursday 30 July - defending Commonwealth champion Emily Campbell will aim to go back-to-back when she competes in the women’s +86kg final, beginning at 2pm on Thursday. 

At Birmingham 2022, Campbell set a new Commonwealth Games record, and gold in the 2025 European Championships bode well for Glasgow success.

Sunday 2 August - four-time Paralympic champion Kadeena Cox will make her Commonwealth Games debut at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome on Sunday afternoon, in the women’s C4-5 1000m time trial. 

It has been a long time coming for the 35-year-old, who has missed the last few Games with injury. 

Sunday 2 August - The final day of Glasgow 2026 will also feature an evening Closing Ceremony, celebrating the athletes and everyone who contributed to the event. 

It is also an opportunity to hand over the Games to the Indian city of Ahmedabad, which has been confirmed as the official host of the 2030 centenary Commonwealth Games.

And there is plenty more sport to keep an eye on, from bowls to artistic gymnastics, and so much more.

With TNT Sports and Channel 5 providing coverage, and Team England channels posting regular updates before, during, and after the Games, there are several ways to ensure you stay up to date with the unmissable action at Glasgow 2026.
