Over 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories head to Glasgow for the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
Inheriting host duties from Victoria after the Australian state withdrew due to concerns over escalating costs, it's the second Commonwealth Games to be held in Scotland's second city after Glasgow staged the 2014 edition.
The schedule has been dramatically reduced with the likes of squash, T20 cricket, beach volleyball and diving all being removed from the Games' itinerary, but there are still 10 sports and six Para sports to be staged across 11 days with some of the world's best athletes on show.
