Today, the official release of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games Session Schedule has been announced, marking a major milestone on the road to what promises to be one of the most memorable sporting events in recent history. With just under a year to go, the stage is set for 10 days of elite international competition – and Team Wales is ready to rise to the occasion.

Running from 23 July to 2 August 2026, the Games will bring together 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories across 10 sports and six Para sports, with over 200 medals up for grabs in 50 thrilling medal sessions. For Team Wales, it’s a chance to showcase homegrown talent, break new ground, and continue the nation’s proud tradition of punching above its weight on the Commonwealth stage.

With action taking place at four of Scotland’s most iconic venues – including the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, Scotstoun Stadium, Tollcross International Swimming Pool, and the Scottish Exhibition Campus (SEC) – Welsh athletes are preparing to compete in an electric atmosphere as fans from across the world descend on Glasgow.

Athletics and Para Athletics kick off on Monday 27 July, featuring the return of the legendary Commonwealth Mile – back on the schedule for the first time since 1966. The athletics schedule will conclude on Saturday 1 August.

Team Wales Chef de Mission, Gethin Jones said:

‘This schedule gives us great clarity as we finalise athlete preparation and logistics for the Games. Our performance and support teams are already fully focused on giving every athlete the best chance to perform at their peak. Glasgow will be a special Games — close to home, steeped in sporting history, and bursting with opportunity for Team Wales. We are determined to make it count.

With months of preparation ahead, the official session schedule gives fans a first glimpse of where and when their Welsh sporting heroes will take centre stage. The countdown to Glasgow 2026 is well and truly on.
