With the 2026 Commonwealth Games underway in Glasgow, Scotland, until Aug. 2, more than 3,000 athletes from 74 Commonwealth nations and territories are competing across a 10-sport program.

Canada has sent a team of more than 150 athletes across nine sports and has already featured prominently in the medal standings, winning 27 medals, including nine gold.

The Commonwealth Games remain the only major international multi-sport event where para sport medals are fully integrated into the main sporting program, not counted separately.
