Final medal table: top 10
| Rank | Nation | Gold | Silver | Bronze | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Australia | 70 | 45 | 56 | 171 |
| 2 | England | 29 | 45 | 36 | 110 |
| 3 | Canada | 19 | 20 | 23 | 62 |

| 9 | Wales | 9 | 10 | 12 | 31 |
| 10 | Malaysia | 8 | 3 | 5 | 16 |
The table is ranked by gold medals, then silver, then bronze. That is why Wales, with 31 medals, sit below Jamaica and Nigeria, who won fewer medals but more golds. In all, 674 medals were awarded across 215 events.
India at Glasgow 2026
India’s 39 medals came from a much smaller programme than usual. Glasgow staged only 10 sports, and several of India’s strongest events from Birmingham 2022, including wrestling, badminton, hockey, table tennis, squash and cricket, were not on the programme. Boxing, athletics and weightlifting produced most of India’s medals.
India’s 13 gold medallists
| Sport | Golds | Winners |
|---|---|---|
| Boxing | 7 | Preeti Pawar, Jaismine Lamboria, Sakshi Chaudhary, Priya Ghanghas, Arundhati Choudhary, Sachin Siwach, Ankush Panghal |
| Para athletics | 3 | Sharmila Dhankar (women’s shot put F57), Soman Rana (men’s shot put F57), Dilip Gavit (men’s 100m T47) |
| Judo | 2 | Asmita Dey (women’s 48 kg), Harsh Singh (men’s 60 kg) |
| Weightlifting | 1 | Mirabai Chanu (women’s 48 kg) |
Boxing was India’s most successful sport, with seven of the 13 golds. Haryana produced seven of India’s gold medallists, more than any other state.

The 10 sports
Athletics, swimming, artistic gymnastics, track cycling, boxing, judo, weightlifting, bowls, netball and 3×3 basketball, with para events included in several of them. It was the smallest programme since 1994. Glasgow stepped in to host a scaled-down Games after the original host, the Australian state of Victoria, withdrew in 2023 citing costs, and the organisers kept costs down by using existing venues in a single city.
Venues
- OVO Hydro (ceremonies)
- Scottish Event Campus, including the SEC Armadillo
- Scotstoun Stadium
- Tollcross International Swimming Centre
- Commonwealth Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome
How India compare with Birmingham 2022
| Birmingham 2022 | Glasgow 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| Rank | 4th | 4th |
| Gold | 22 | 13 |
| Silver | 16 | 17 |
| Bronze | 23 | 9 |
| Total | 61 | 39 |
| Sports on the programme | 20 | 10 |
The drop from 61 medals to 39 mostly reflects the missing sports: wrestling alone brought India 12 medals in Birmingham. India held fourth place despite the smaller programme.
Next: Ahmedabad 2030
The 2030 Commonwealth Games, the centenary edition, will be held in Ahmedabad. It will be India’s second Commonwealth Games, after Delhi 2010, and with home advantage and a fuller programme India will expect a much larger haul.
