Qualification
Para athletic event qualification is regulated by a special system organised between Commonwealth Sport and the International Paralympic Committee. Each para athletic event allowed for eight quota places, or 10 in the case of throwing events. All but one quota in each event was available on the basis of the Commonwealth Para Rankings on 31 Match 2026[4], to a maximum of two per Commonwealth Games Association (CGA), with the remaining quota allocated by Bipartite invitation[5].
This list did not set a limit on entrants, as other athletes in the same classification, but qualified directly for another event, could enter the event in question, up to a maximum (combined quota, invitation and 'separate event' quota) of three per event per CGA[4].
In the case of the Men's long jump (T20), one other event - the T20 men's 1500 metres - shares the classification.
