The 2026 Commonwealth Games will see a significantly smaller Indian contingent take the field, with 125 athletes set to represent the country in Glasgow from July 23. The squad features 77 men and 48 women competing across 13 disciplines. Track & field events will form the backbone of India’s participation, accounting for the largest share of the team with 32 individual participants – 22 men and 10 women.
The 2026 Games will be a scaled-down version of the Commonwealth sporting spectacle. Originally awarded to Victoria (Australia), the event was relocated after Victoria withdrew as host, citing escalating costs.
Glasgow was later selected as the replacement host, with organisers opting for a more economical model that uses existing venues and
limits the number of participating sports.
The Glasgow edition will feature 10 sports, a reduction from the 19 disciplines staged at Birmingham 2022. The trimmed programme has resulted in several traditional CWG events being left out, including badminton, hockey, squash, table tennis and wrestling. These are also the events that had a major impact on India’s medal tally in previous editions.
At Birmingham 2022, India sent a 210-member contingent and returned with 61 medals.
