Commonwealth Games Future Brightens as Seven Nations Express Hosting Interest

Fears that the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow might mark the end of the historic event have eased, as seven nations have officially expressed interest in hosting the Games in 2030 or 2034.

Scotland’s largest city stepped forward last year to organize a scaled-back version of the Games for next summer after Victoria, Australia, withdrew due to financial concerns.

The streamlined format—featuring fewer sports, athletes, and venues—has significantly reduced costs and inspired potential hosts to consider future editions. Among the nations vying for the centenary 2030 Games are Canada, India, and Nigeria, with New Zealand joining another unnamed contender in exploring bids for 2034.

Earlier this year, 74 Commonwealth nations were invited to submit their notes of interest. Seven countries from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania have responded positively, and the feasibility of their bids will be assessed over the next five months. The host city for 2030 is expected to be announced in November.

Katie Sadleir, chief executive of Commonwealth Sport, highlighted the crucial role Glasgow has played: “We cannot understate the hugely significant role Scotland has played, having the foresight, tenacity, and innovative thinking to step forward and host in 2026. Glasgow’s pioneering example will increase the breadth of countries able to host the Games in the decades ahead.”

Phil Batty, head of Glasgow 2026, echoed this sentiment, calling next year’s Games “a pivotal moment” in the event’s history. “I have every confidence Glasgow 2026 will pioneer a new model for the major event—one that delivers a successful Games on time, on budget, and with high-quality sport at the heart of the experience,” he added.
