The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) is considering multiple proposals to host the event in 2026 and aims to announce a host in May. The CGF is working with Commonwealth Games Associations (CGAs) to assess the proposals and is focused on transforming the Games to a sustainable model.
The Commonwealth Games Federation says it is "considering multiple proposals" to host the event in 2026, amid continued uncertainty over its long-term future.
It claimed it was working with a number of Commonwealth Games Associations over "further detailed assessments", with an aim to announce a host in May. "The CGF continues to accelerate work to refresh the Games… including exploring innovative new concepts," it said. The 2022 Games in Birmingham cost almost £780m, with the city council and local partners contributing about £180m.
