Commonwealth Games 2026 Medal Table: Live Standings & Top Nations 2026

The Commonwealth Games 2026 medal table is the definitive ranking of all 74 participating nations competing in Glasgow from 23 July to 2 August. With 215 events across 10 sports, including Para sport competitions, the table is sorted by gold medals, then silver, then bronze, providing a clear picture of athletic dominance.

How the Commonwealth Games 2026 Medal Table Works

The ranking system prioritizes gold medals over total medal counts. This means a nation with 10 golds and 20 total medals ranks higher than a country with 9 golds and 30 total medals. This method, used in Birmingham 2022, ensures consistency with Olympic-style rankings.

Six sports include Para events: 3x3 basketball, athletics, bowls, cycling, swimming, and weightlifting. The remaining four are artistic gymnastics, boxing, judo, and netball. This diverse program ensures a wide range of medal opportunities.

Top Nations to Watch in the 2026 Medal Table

Australia topped the Birmingham 2022 table with 179 medals (67 golds), followed by England, Canada, India, and New Zealand. These five nations hold the same order in the all-time Commonwealth Games medal table and are expected to dominate again in Glasgow.

Hosts Scotland will aim to improve on their 13 gold medals from 2022, with home crowd support potentially boosting their athletes. Other emerging nations like Nigeria, South Africa, and Jamaica could also challenge for top-10 spots.
