Badminton and hockey will not be featured in the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

A stripped-back programme of 10 sports, announced yesterday, includes athletics and swimming as mandatory as well as the likes of track cycling, boxing and gymnastics.

The Games, last held in Glasgow in 2014 at a cost of over £540m, will take place across four venues between July 23 and August 2, 2026.

3,000 athletes from 74 Commonwealth nations and territories are expected to compete at the 2026 Games.
