These are the stars to look out for across the 10 sports at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Scotland's Josh Kerr, England's Kadeena Cox and South Africa's Chad le Clos are among the biggest names competing in Glasgow With 215 golds up for grabs at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, highlighting just five medal hopefuls is no easy feat. Scotland's largest city is set to welcome more than 3,000 athletes from 10 sports, all of whom have the ambition of leaving with a slab of metal resting on their chest. For some, a podium-finish is paramount. The bare minimum. For others, competing at the Games is a win in itself. Much has been made of the reduced programme, the city's readiness and the 'what next?' once Glasgow has passed on the hosting baton again, but for now, the attention - finally - is fully on the athletes. Here, BBC Scotland highlights some of the biggest names set to compete in the upcoming Commonwealth Games. Even before he walked the walk after talking the talk, new mile world-record holder Josh Kerr was the poster boy for his home Games. The brazen - arguably gallus - boy from Edinburgh has won the hearts of many Scots, and athletics fans generally, in recent years for his no-nonsense, bullish approach on and off the track.
