Glasgow stepped in as host for the Commonwealth Games after Victoria, Australia, backed out three years ago due to the cost of hosting the Games. The 10-sport programme, including six Para sports, will feature athletics, gymnastics, cycling, and swimming, taking place across four Glasgow venues.
The Scotstoun Stadium, with a 11,000-spectator capacity, will stage the athletics as well as the biggest home star of the Games, new mile world record holder Josh Kerr.
The Games will be shown live across TNT Sports and HBO Max, rather than on the BBC or terrestrial television. This change has sparked some debate among fans and critics.
Here is a closer look at the full day-by-day schedule for the Games:
