Wales at the 2026 Commonwealth Games

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wales is scheduled to compete at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.[1] This will mark the country's 23rd participation at the games, after making its debut at the 1930 British Empire Games, the inaugural edition of the event which evolved to become the Commonwealth Games. The team will compete under a new bilingual branding as 'cymru|wales' and 'Tim Cymru|Team Wales' for the first time[2].

Boxer Rosie Eccles was the country's opening ceremony flagbearer.[5] Meanwhile, bowler Daniel Salmon was the baton bearer during the opening ceremony.[5]

Administration

Former broadcaster Gethin Jones will act as chef de mission and spokeperson for Tim Cymru during the Games, and announced the full squad on 19 June 2026[2]. The team is organised by Commonwealth Games Wales under the chief executive officer Rebecca Edwards-Symmons[6].
