A star-studded trio are the first cycling athletes to be selected to represent Team Scotland at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, after outstanding performances at the recent UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Chile.

Spearheading the cycling team for Glasgow 2026 are Olympic and World champion Katie Archibald MBE, Commonwealth Games gold medallist Mark Stewart and World and European medallist Lauren Bell.

All three riders produced excellent performances at the Championships, with Katie Archibald winning the gold medal in the madison, and silver in the elimination race which is set to make its Commonwealth Games debut in Glasgow next year. Mark Stewart claimed silver in the men’s madison, with Lauren Bell having her best year to date with a top ten in the keirin, adding to her hat-trick of British titles won earlier this year at the British Track Championships in Manchester.

Olympic gold medallist in 2016, adding gold and silver at Tokyo 2020, and a seven-time World Champion, Katie Archibald has established herself as a force to be reckoned with over a 12-year period at the top of her sport, from the first of an astonishing 20 European titles in 2013 to her most recent World title in the madison this year.

Her success has been tempered by injury, missing both Birmingham 2022 and Paris 2024 but returns to Team Scotland looking to add to the gold, silver and bronze she won across Glasgow 2014 and Gold Coast 2018.

“To be selected feels fantastic,” Katie said. “Pulling on a Scottish jersey was the biggest goal I had in the early days of my career, and it’s never stopped feeling special. A home Games is extra special, not just getting to compete in front of your home crowd, but I think there’s a sense of pride that comes with being the host nation, with being the home of such a great sporting platform, that really adds to the whole experience.

“Glasgow 2014 was this bright light that I walked towards with a massive smile on my face. I understand a bit more now and that can make some things more intimidating and some things more settling, understanding your strengths and understanding how to keep your cool at a major championship. It also hopefully means I can be a steadying presence for some of the younger riders that we will have, where this will be their big start.”

Having made his Team Scotland debut as an 18-year-old at Glasgow 2014, Mark Stewart cemented his pace in Scottish sporting history with a magnificent ride for gold in the Points Race at Gold Coast 2018. The first of his three World Championship medals also came in 2018, a Points Race bronze, followed up by Madison silver in both Glasgow in 2023 and Santiago in October this year. He made his Olympic debut at Paris 2024, finishing 9th in the Madison alongside Ollie Wood.

Mark said: “This will be my fourth Commonwealth Games and my second in Glasgow, which feels like an absolute privilege. When I competed in Glasgow 2014, I was 18 years old and living in the city and it was my first experience of a major games. It was pretty overwhelming to be honest, and quite hard to soak in. I can reflect on it now, but at the time thing were coming at me thick and fast. Whereas now, I can really prepare and enjoy the process of being with the team and being part of a home games and soak up and enjoy all that while it’s happening.

“It means a lot, and it’s only once every four years we get to compete for Team Scotland. It’s just so special to compete for Scotland. We’re so proud to be Scottish that to wear those colours on an international stage is something that will never get old.”

Lauren Bell made her Commonwealth Games debut at Birmingham 2022, with a best result of 6th in the 500m Time Trial. Since then, she has won World and European medals in the Team Sprint and will be aiming for a first Commonwealth Games medal in Glasgow.

“It feels incredible,” she said. “It’s always nice to be selected that wee bit earlier as well so you have that stress gone. I love representing Scotland, we don’t get to do it often so when the opportunity comes it’s really special.

“Birmingham was a great learning experience and next year I think I can do even better and get one of those medals. Whenever I need a bit of motivation in training, I think of the Commonwealth Games and think of winning and hearing Flower of Scotland for that extra boost.

“Whenever you race the crowd are always incredible and bringing it closer to home in Glasgow it’s going to be even louder with all the support. It really does make a difference when you’re going round and to have friends and family in the stadium it makes it really special, because they have such a big part of your career as well.”

Elinor Middlemiss, Team Scotland Chef de Mission, said: “We are delighted to welcome the first of our cycling athletes to Team Scotland for Glasgow 2026. The velodrome has provided some of Team Scotland’s greatest successes in recent years and to have some of the athletes that have contributed to that success confirmed on the team at this early stage is fantastic as we head into 2026.

“Congratulations to all three athletes selected, as well as their families, support teams and coaches, and we wish them well in their preparation over the coming months.”

Selection for all three athletes named today comes on the back of meeting the Phase 1 selection requirements detailed in the selection policy and following nomination from Scottish Cycling and subsequent ratification by Commonwealth Games Scotland.

Athletes from across all 10 sports and six para-sports featured at Glasgow 2026 will be selected in the coming months as Team Scotland shapes up for an exciting home Games.

Team Scotland is delighted to announce that The Corinthian Club is set to become Team Scotland House, its home from home for athletes, family, friends and team supporters at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Team Scotland House has been a key part of Team Scotland’s Games-time experience since 1998 and, based at The Corinthian Club in the centre of Glasgow, just minutes’ walk from Central and Queen Street stations, it will once again be a hub for partners and supporters to celebrate Team Scotland’s sporting success.

The House will be a buzzing hive of activity, including:

  • An exclusive environment for athletes, friends and family and wider Team Scotland partners to relax and celebrate pre and post-competition.
  • The base for Team Scotland’s Celebrating Success programme with media and commercial partners.
  • A welcoming environment for past Team Scotland athletes to join us for the Games.
  • Flexible event spaces for Team Scotland sporting and commercial partners to welcome guests from across the Commonwealth.
  • Public exhibition display and Team Scotland retail outlet.
  • Workspace for Team Scotland operations.

Financial support has been provided by The Scottish Government and sportscotland to deliver Team Scotland House, which will also operate as a central hub for business engagement, facilitating networking events and business forums and promoting Scottish renewable energy, fintech, tourism and food and drink.

Jon Doig OBE, Chief Executive at Commonwealth Games Scotland, said: “Team Scotland House will provide our athletes, their families and friends, partners and supporters a place to come together, socialise and connect, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to The Corinthian Club next summer.

“We’re grateful to the Scottish Government and sportscotland for their support, and to The Corinthian Club for providing such a fantastic venue in the heart of the city.

“With several Team Scotland athletes already confirmed and more to be announced soon, and with the confirmation of Team Scotland House as our city-centre hub for athletes and partners, momentum is building for Glasgow 2026 and Team Scotland.”

Health Secretary, Neil Gray, said: “Scotland is showing a real appetite for the Games with huge demand for tickets and the creation of Scotland House demonstrates our ambition, creativity, and commitment to build lasting partnerships.

“By bringing sport, culture and business under one roof we will ensure Glasgow 2026 delivers benefits that extend far beyond the Games.

“The Games are expected to bring more than £150 million of economic benefit, supporting local businesses and jobs.

“With many visitors expected it gives Glasgow another chance to shine and showcase the very best of what we have to offer.

“This is an exciting international event and the Scottish Government is committed to maximising its economic opportunities while delivering a lasting sporting, social and business legacy.”

Forbes Dunlop, Chief Executive, sportscotland, said: “Team Scotland House will provide a great opportunity to bring partners together from across the sporting sector to maximise the benefits of the Commonwealth Games being hosted in Scotland once again.

“We work closely with Commonwealth Games Scotland and the governing bodies of sport to ensure that they have the right support to enable Scotland’s athletes to shine on the world stage. Team Scotland House is a key part of that support providing a place for collaboration and celebration, and a home for the team behind the team.”

Graham Urquhart, Director of Sales at The Scotsman Group, said: “Everyone at The Corinthian Club is absolutely delighted to be announced as the official Team Scotland House for the Commonwealth Games.

“We are immensely proud to see the Games return to Glasgow – a city whose energy and spirit have always inspired us.

“Over the past two decades we’ve been fortunate to host a number of major events and sporting campaigns, and this honour feels like a wonderful continuation of that journey.

“With national pride at an all-time high, we look forward to working together to deliver an unforgettable experience for athletes, supporters and our community.”

12 of the world’s best teams are set to go head-to-head over nine days from Saturday 25 July to Sunday 2 August 2026 at the iconic Hydro at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC), with the official match schedule announced today. 

Full schedule on the Glasgow 2026 website

The 12 competing nations have been divided into two pools (World Netball World Rankings as of 1st September 2025 in brackets): 

Pool A: Australia (1), England (4), South Africa (5), Malawi (8), Tonga (9), Northern Ireland (12) 

Pool B: New Zealand (2), Jamaica (3), Wales (6), Uganda (7), Scotland (10), Trinidad & Tobago (11) 

A packed first day of competition on 25 July, sees all home nations in action with the opening game of Scotland v New Zealand at 09:00 (BST) followed by England v Northen Ireland at 14:00 (BST) and Wales v Uganda at 16:00 (BST). 

Fans from around the world will be treated to a not-to-be-missed clash between historic rivals Australia and England at 11:00 (BST) on 26 July, with England hoping to replicate their historic victory over Australia at Gold Coast 2018, which was sealed by Helen Housby’s iconic, last-second goal.  

Emily Nicholl, Scottish Thistles Co-Captain said “Now that the schedule has been finalised, it brings a whole new level of excitement with it. The countdown to the Games is well and truly on! To have the honour of playing in the opening game is massive for Scotland and I can’t begin to imagine how special it will be to hear Flower of Scotland being belted out by thousands of fans. This is a massive opportunity for Netball and we can’t wait to run out at the Hydro, to the world-renowned Scottish roar and show how exhilarating the sport is.” 

World Netball President, Dame Liz Nicholl DBE said: “It is fantastic to see the full schedule for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games now live. The Commonwealth Games is always a highlight in the international netball calendar for the players, officials, and netball family, and with these unmissable matchups between the 12 teams now confirmed, I have no doubt that Glasgow 2026 will live up to all expectations. From the very first whistle, when our hosts Scotland take to court against New Zealand, please make sure you show your support for our world class athletes both in the Hydro and online, around the world.” 

Team Scotland’s ambitions in the pool are off to a flying start with the nation’s most decorated Commonwealth Games athlete of all-time, Duncan Scott, named today as the first swimmer selected for Glasgow 2026. 

Six medals at Birmingham 2022, with gold in 200m Freestyle and 200m Individual Medley, took his overall tally to an impressive 13 across three Games, a feat unmatched by any Scottish athlete in history. 

Four medals at Tokyo 2020 saw him become Team GB’s most decorated athlete at a single Olympic Games and in Paris last year he surpassed Sir Chris Hoy as Scotland’s most decorated Olympian. He’s also Team GB’s most decorated swimmer, five times a World Champion, and the accolades go on. 

Next summer he’ll be back in Tollcross International Swimming Pool where, as a fresh-faced 17-year-old, he took home the first of those 13 Commonwealth medals at Glasgow 2014: a silver from the 4x200m Freestyle Relay. Twelve years on he returns, no longer a talented teenager, but as a household name, and an official Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games Ambassador. 

Duncan Scott said: “To think my first-ever Commonwealth Games was in 2014 and for the Games to be Glasgow for 2026 is pretty special. The momentum is really starting to build and the Games are coming round fast. 

“I have fond memories of 2014; the way the country got behind all the athletes, and how Team Scotland responded to that in terms of success. 

“The Scottish fans always bring something different, and with the Commonwealth Games coming back to Glasgow next year, hopefully they will bring the excitement once again.” 

Elinor Middlemiss, Team Scotland Chef de Mission, said: “We are delighted to welcome Duncan back to the team for Glasgow 2026.  

“Duncan’s successes with both Team Scotland and Team GB have been truly inspirational and we look forward to the next chapter in Glasgow next summer, the city where he won his very first medal with Team Scotland. 

“Athletes of the calibre of Duncan and the three Athletics team members named so far are spearheading our selections at this early stage from what is already shaping up to be a strong team.” 

Duncan’s selection comes on the back of meeting the Phase 1 selection requirements set out in the selection policy and following nomination from Scottish Swimming and subsequent ratification by Commonwealth Games Scotland. 

Athletes from across all 10 sports and six para-sports featured at Glasgow 2026 will be selected in the coming months as Team Scotland prepares for an exciting home Commonwealth Games. 

Team Scotland are set to go head-to-head as one of the top-ranked Netball nations in the world at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, in one of the most anticipated events of the Games.

Glasgow 2026 will feature the top 12 ranked Netball nations in the world, as determined by the World Netball World Rankings on 1st September 2025, ensuring a high-calibre and fiercely competitive event.

Scottish Thistles captain, Emily Nicholl, who competed at both Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022 is looking forward to an incredible competition on home soil “It’s incredibly exciting to have the full line-up of Netball teams confirmed for Glasgow 2026. With 12 world-class squads competing next summer, it promises to be an unforgettable competition at the Hydro.

“The Commonwealth is home to some phenomenal Netball athletes and having them come to Scotland will be a huge moment for the sport, both here at home and on the global stage. Team Scotland is incredibly excited to be competing alongside the best in the world and we can’t wait to welcome them all to Glasgow in 2026.”

Scotland’s top performers at the recent World Athletics Championships are the first athletes to be selected for Team Scotland for next summer’s Commonwealth Games. 

Megan Keith will make her Commonwealth Games debut in the 10,000m, while Jake Wightman and Neil Gourley are selected for the Commonwealth Mile as the event makes a return for the first time since 1966 in place of the 1500m. All have all been selected on the back of outstanding performances in Tokyo and can look forward to strong home support in Glasgow next year. 

Jake Wightman is named for a fourth Games appearance, having won bronze medals at both Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022. Battling injury since that glorious summer of 2022, where he took World gold, Commonwealth bronze and European silver in the space of a month, his World silver in Tokyo last month was a welcome return to form. The only one of the trio to have competed at Glasgow 2014, as a fresh-faced 20-year-old, he goes into his second home-Games with far more experience and expectation. 

“It feels amazing to be selected for Team Scotland for Glasgow 2026,” said Jake. “It’s nice to be selected 10 months early too, which gives us time to build our preparation into this winter, through spring and into the summer season and the Games. To be the first athletes selected in what is going to be a huge team is pretty cool.  

“A home Games is going to be really special, I thought Glasgow 2014 was going to be my only experience, so to get the chance to come back to Glasgow and compete at another one is fantastic. This time I’m a better athlete, much more experienced and wiser, so I hope I can get out there and do my best for Scotland and get on that podium. 

“The Glasgow fans are going to be really important, I hope that all the fans, especially the Scottish ones are going to be roaring us home!” 

Jake Wightman wrapped in a Saltire flag

Neil Gourley made his Team Scotland debut at Birmingham 2022, finishing 8th in the 1500m final. Since then, he has won silver at both the 2023 European Indoor Championships and 2025 World Indoor Championships, as well as making the 1500m final at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. It’s not all been plain sailing though, an injury meaning he missed the 2024 World Indoor Championships in his home city of Glasgow was tough to take, so the Giffnock North athlete will be doubly motivated to make his mark next summer.  

Delighted to be named as one of the first athletes, Neil said: “It means a lot more than it probably has done before. There’s been two occasions where I’ve been selected to compete in Glasgow, only to taken out by illness, and the other by injury.

“Both were devastating in their own ways, so I’m going to have to put that right this time.

“I’m incredibly proud that I’ll get to represent Scotland in my home city, I might not get the opportunity again, so this is a special one. I’d give anything to be on the starting line of these championships so to have that set in stone is huge for my preparation and aspirations next year.”

Since a switch from orienteering, where she was a World Junior champion, Megan Keith has been a rising star in athletics. She won three consecutive individual gold medals at U20 and U23 level at the European Cross Country Championships before getting into her stride on the track. 5,000m gold at the 2023 European U23 Championships was followed by a first senior medal over 10,000m at the European Championships and selection for the Olympic Games in 2024. After heartbreak in Paris due to an ankle injury, her top 10 finish at this year’s World Championships showed her true potential. 

Ready to make her Commonwealth Games debut next summer, Megan said: “Competing for Scotland at the Commonwealth Games is going to be very special. I’ve watched the Commonwealth Games on TV for years and I wanted to go and see it when it was in Glasgow 11 years ago but we didn’t manage to get tickets. It’s not something I ever dreamed about competing at myself, but for me the Commonwealth Games is always so much cooler than the Olympics or other events because everyone is competing in their Scotland vests.  

“It’s not often we get the opportunity as senior athletes to compete for Scotland, then on home soil as well. I don’t get to race in Scotland as much as I would like so the combination of doing both in Glasgow next summer will be a really cool moment for me, I can’t wait.” 

Megan Keith

Elinor Middlemiss, Team Scotland Chef de Mission, said: “We are delighted to welcome our first athletes to Team Scotland for Glasgow 2026. The last three Games have been very successful for athletics and, with athletes of the calibre of Jake, Neil and Megan leading the way in this first wave of selections, I am confident of another strong result in Glasgow. 

“Congratulations to all athletes selected, as well as their families, clubs and coaches, and we look forward to Team Scotland 2026 taking shape over the coming months.” 

All athletes named today met the Phase 1 selection requirement of a top-12 finish at the 2025 World Athletics Championships and have been selected following nominations from Scottish Athletics and subsequent ratification by Commonwealth Games Scotland. 

Athletes from across all 10 sports and six para-sports featured at Glasgow 2026 will be selected in the coming months as Team Scotland shapes up for an exciting home Games. 

Team Scotland will be looking to defend their titles on home territory in all three Para Bowls events at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, with Commonwealth Sport today announcing that they are one of eight nations set to contest the Women’s and Men’s B6-8 Pairs and B2-3 Mixed Pairs next summer. 

Winning gold in every Para Bowls discipline, Team Scotland made history at Birmingham 2022. Joining them on the rinks for Glasgow 2026 will be Australia, England, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and Wales, promising a vibrant and competitive field for one of the Games’ most inclusive sports. 

The Glasgow 2026 Bowls and Para Bowls competitions will take place from Friday 24 July to Sunday 2 August 2026, with the Games set to be the UK’s largest sporting event next summer, bringing together 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories to compete for more than 200 medals. Para sport will be at the heart of the action, with 47 medal events across six disciplines – the most expansive Para sport programme in Commonwealth Games history.  

Para Bowls made its debut as a demonstration sport at Victoria 1994, before officially joining the Commonwealth Games programme at Manchester 2002. Since then, it has featured at Glasgow 2014, Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022, with Glasgow 2026 matching the three-event format seen in Birmingham. 

Malaysia returns to the Para Bowls line-up for the first time since Glasgow 2014, having previously won two bronze medals at Manchester 2002, whilst Singapore will make its historic debut in the Para Bowls disciplines at a Commonwealth Games. 

Six nations – Australia, England, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa and Wales – continue their 100% attendance record, having qualified once again through their respective Commonwealth Games Associations. 

The confirmation of the eight nations taking part in Para Bowls at Glasgow 2026 comes in the week that Scotland play Australia in a Test Series.

Pauline Wilson, B6-B8 Pairs Commonwealth champion and member of Glasgow 2026 Athlete Advisory Committee, who is representing Scotland in the series this week, said “Competing at a home Games is a dream come true. The support in Glasgow will be electric and we’re ready to give it everything to defend our titles. The Commonwealth Games has given so many of us a platform to shine and show the world how fantastic our sport can be – and Glasgow 2026 will be no exception.”

Team Scotland has teamed up with market-leading data insights platform ProDataStack to launch a new pilot programme to help athletes inspire the nation ahead of Glasgow 2026.

Team Scotland’s Athlete Marketing Programme will provide marketing support to all selected athletes to help them maximise the opportunity presented by a home Commonwealth Games. As part of this, Team Scotland and ProDataStack will work directly with 10 Scottish athletes, one from each of the sports featured at Glasgow 2026, to increase their visibility, engagement and followership.

ProDataStack specialises in data-driven marketing and performance insights and aims to help organisations and athletes understand, grow and engage their audiences, brand profile and brand value through analytics, digital tracking and targeted promotional campaigns.

As part of the pilot, which runs until after the conclusion of next year’s Games, each athlete will receive secure access to ProDataStack’s online platform, showing their own data including social media reach, global impact, audience engagement and brand sentiment.

The programme will also include real-time insights and extended marketing support.

The athletes and Team Scotland will also collaborate on social media content, providing insight into their lives and preparations for Glasgow 2026, as well as fan competitions and targeted email campaigns.

Colin Millar, Head of Marketing and Commercial Operations at Team Scotland, said: “Glasgow 2026 offers a unique opportunity for Team Scotland athletes to shine on home soil on one of the world’s biggest sporting stages.

“Through this pilot, we aim to equip them with the data, insights and tools to share their journeys to next year’s Commonwealth Games, connect with fans and grow their personal profiles.

“We are committed to supporting all of our athletes both in competition and away from the field and next year’s Games provides the perfect platform to showcase not only their sporting excellence, but also the inspiring stories and personalities that make them ambassadors for their sports and for Team Scotland.”

Tim Whiston, CEO of ProDataStack, added: “We are delighted to be working alongside Team Scotland on a programme where sport and data converge to help athletes to understand, develop and leverage their individual and collective brand value.

“We’re not just tracking metrics, we’re shaping moments, building legacies, and proving the measurable power of athlete influence. Glasgow 2026 is the perfect stage to demonstrate how data-driven storytelling can change the game for athletes, fans, and brands alike.”

Team Scotland will confirm the athletes participating in the pilot programme later this year.
