Feel it all
In Scotland, we were proud to welcome the world to Glasgow for the 2026 Commonwealth Games for the second time. Whether you were here supporting your nation, have a connection to Scotland, or simply love great sport, we were excited to welcome you.
Sport in Scotland
Glasgow hosted the Commonwealth Games in a celebration of sport, culture and community. The 23rd edition took place across existing venues within the city centre. Around 3,000 athletes competed across 10 sports including a fully integrated para sport programme.
The Games featured a sport programme hosted in four venues across the city. From track cycling to swimming, boxing and netball - world-class athletes competed right in the heart of the city.
The King's Baton Relay connected communities across Scotland while championing sustainability, tackling plastic pollution and helping to protect our oceans for future generations.
As well as the King’s Baton Relay, the Glasgow Festival 2026 celebrated the city’s vibrant cultural identity, sporting heritage and diverse communities and invite everyone to come together and be part of it.
