Glasgow Hosting CWG 2026 After Victoria, Australia Backs Out

Victoria, Australia, was originally set to host CWG 2026 but withdrew, citing soaring costs. Glasgow, host city in 2014, stepped in at short notice, committing to stage only 10 sports across four venues.

The 23rd edition of the Games has been scaled down, with several marquee disciplines missing. CWG 2026 features just 10 sports, a sharp reduction from the 19 held at Birmingham 2022, and India’s medal tally is expected to take a hit.
