Selection as host
On 11 April 2024, it was announced that Glasgow was considered as a "last possibility" to host the 2026 Games in the event, if no other host was forthcoming, in an alternative to safeguard the Games.[1] It was reported that the Games would be in a smaller scale and could reuse venues from the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Accommodation for the athletes would comprise hotels, and possibly a combination of Glasgow Caledonian University and University of Glasgow student residences.[1] Furthermore, the costs of the Games would be covered fully by the Commonwealth Games Federation and their other corporate sponsors.[1] Discussions were ongoing between Commonwealth Games Scotland, the Scottish Government, and EventScotland with a confirmed bid expected by the end of the month.[2] However, the bid documents would not end up being submitted at that time. On 25 July 2024, the BBC reported that a decision would be made in August.[3]
On 11 August 2024, it was speculated that an agreement was reached for Glasgow to take over the hosting rights of the games.[4] A statement from the Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland issued on 30 August 2024, suggested a compact and low scale games concept with 10 sports across four venues including the Scotstoun Stadium and the Tollcross International Swimming Centre.[5]
On 17 September 2024, it was announced that the Scottish Government had agreed to host the Games with compensation from Victoria.[6]

The remaining seven quotas were returned to the general rankings list[29].
