The Commonwealth Games provides an amazing opportunity for English athletes to compete at the highest level for their country, and we are pleased to see the Games return to the UK, following the huge success of Birmingham 2022.

2026 will provide a unique opportunity for athletes to potentially compete in two major competitions within the UK, with the Birmingham 2026 European Championships taking place shortly after the Commonwealth Games, bringing an exciting summer of athletics to England.

Team Information for 2026
