Artistic gymnastics is one of the biggest draws at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, and it kicks off the very first day of medal competition in Scotland. From July 24-28, gymnasts from more than a dozen nations — including Olympic champion Rhys McClenaghan, world medalist Ellie Black, and rising stars — will battle for team, all-around, and event titles at The Arena in Glasgow.
The Commonwealth Games are a multi-sport event, similar to the Olympics, that gathers athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations – a group of 56 independent countries, of which most were former territories of the British Empire. The Games are held every four years.
Some names to watch include:
- MAG: Jesse Moore (AUS), Felix Dolci (CAN), Marios Georgiou (CYP), Luke Whitehouse (ENG), and Rhys McClenaghan (NIR)
- WAG: Georgia Godwin (AUS), Ellie Black (CAN), Amanda Yap (SGP), Tiana Sumanasekera (LKA), and Ruby Evans (WAL)
England is the defending team champion on both the men’s and women’s sides.
Here’s everything you need to know about when to tune in and how to watch, no matter where you live. Gymnastics Now will publish the full results from the meet.
