The 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will feature a significantly reduced roster of 10 sports from the previous 19 at the 2022 Birmingham edition, aiming to create a more budget-friendly event. Key sports such as hockey, badminton, shooting, wrestling, and cricket, where India has historically excelled, have been removed, significantly impacting India's medal prospects. The selected sports include athletics, swimming, artistic gymnastics, track cycling, netball, weightlifting, boxing, judo, bowls, and 3x3 basketball, with integrated para events in six sports. The decision to streamline the event comes after Scotland stepped in to host following Australia's withdrawal due to rising costs. The Games will be held across four venues within an eight-mile corridor, with athletes housed in hotels. This strategic reduction is intended to minimize costs, reduce environmental impact, and increase the Games' accessibility to more host nations.
