## Commonwealth Games 2026: Schedule and African Contenders
The schedule, released by olympics.com on 9 July, details the day-by-day programme across the Scottish venues for the 22nd edition of the Games. Organisers have billed the event as a streamlined, cost-contained Commonwealth Games after Victoria, Australia withdrew as host in 2023.
National Olympic committees across Africa have intensified preparations. Kenya's National Olympic Committee (NOCK) said it was "leaving nothing to chance" ahead of the Games, Citizen Digital reported on 8 July, with squads finalising training camps. Nigeria and South Africa are also expected to field large contingents.
The opening ceremony is set for 23 July at Scotstoun Stadium. No competitive results are available, as the event has not yet begun.
