This article provides a detailed Commonwealth Games Medal Tally 2026 (latest standings), winners list, and global rankings, along with key highlights from the ongoing tournament.
The 2026 Commonwealth Games concluded on 2 August 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland, marking the end of an intense multi-sport event featuring athletes from across the Commonwealth.
This was one of India’s notable campaigns, although slightly lower than recent editions, but still enough for a top-four finish.
This edition was smaller than usual, with only 10 sports due to budget and logistical constraints.
Ranking is by gold medals, then silver, then bronze (standard Commonwealth convention). Host nation Scotland is marked with *. Figures primarily follow widely reported finals (Australia’s total is commonly given as 171; Wikipedia lists a minor variance of one bronze, likely due to swimming ties).

Boxing was the standout (7 golds and 3 silvers for a record haul), with further medals in weightlifting (led by Mirabai Chanu’s gold), judo (first-ever Indian CWG golds), athletics, and para sports.
Australia’s dominance included a huge swimming haul. Notable individual feats included Wales’ Emma Finucane winning all four track-cycling sprint events and South Africa’s Chad le Clos becoming the most decorated Commonwealth Games athlete.

Note: Some swimming events had ties that affected medal counts (e.g., two golds in men’s 50m butterfly). Boxing and judo awarded two bronzes in each event.
Australia dominated (as is common), led strongly by swimming. India finished 4th (ahead of host Scotland on silver medals count despite equal golds and totals), with a strong showing in boxing (7 golds) plus contributions from weightlifting, judo, athletics, and para sports.
Minor variations in some media totals for top nations (e.g., Australia sometimes listed at 171) appear due to final adjustments or reporting differences, but the Wikipedia table (updated post-Games) is the most detailed and consistent reference available. The next Games are scheduled for Ahmedabad, India, in 2030.

Australia topped the overall table (around 169–171 medals, including ~70 gold), followed by England (~110) and Canada (~62). India edged hosts Scotland (also 39 total medals) on gold count.

India finished 4th at the 2026 Commonwealth Games (Glasgow, 23 July–2 August 2026) with 13 gold, 17 silver and 9 bronze medals (total 39). This matched the 4th-place finish from Birmingham 2022, but with a lower overall medal count due to a significantly trimmed sports programme.
Medal Comparison: India at CWG 2026 vs CWG 2022
Edition Gold Silver Bronze Total Rank CWG 2026 (Glasgow) 13 17 9 39 4th CWG 2022 (Birmingham) 22 16 23 61 4th
- Gold medals: Down from 22 to 13.
- Total medals: Down from 61 to 39.
- Rank remained 4th (ahead of hosts Scotland on silver-medal count in 2026, after both finished on 39).
Australia topped both editions (2026: ~70 gold / 169–171 total; 2022: 67 gold / 178–179 total). England was 2nd and Canada 3rd in both.
Context for the Difference
Glasgow 2026 featured a reduced programme (around 10–11 sports/para sports and fewer events) after organisational challenges. Several of India’s traditional strongholds were excluded, including wrestling, badminton, table tennis, hockey and shooting. These had contributed many medals in Birmingham. Despite this, India retained a top-five finish through strong performances in the available disciplines.
India’s Key Performances at CWG 2026
- Boxing (biggest success): Record 10 medals (7 gold, 3 silver). Golds included Sakshi Chaudhary (51 kg), Preeti Pawar (54 kg), Jaismine Lamboria (57 kg), Priya Ghanghas (60 kg), Arundhati Choudhary (70 kg), Sachin Siwach (60 kg) and Ankush Panghal (80 kg). Silvers included Lovlina Borgohain and others. India topped the boxing medal table.
- Athletics + Para Athletics: 16 medals (3 gold, ~7–8 silver, 5 bronze) — doubled the athletics haul from Birmingham (when para events were fewer or structured differently). Golds included Sharmila Dhankar (women’s F57 shot put — India’s first para athletics gold), Dilip Mahadu Gavit (men’s 100 m T47) and Soman Rana (men’s F57 shot put). Notable silvers: Neeraj Chopra (javelin), Murali Sreeshankar (long jump), Praveen Chithravel (triple jump), Gulveer Singh (10,000 m; he also took bronze in 5,000 m).
- Weightlifting: 8 medals (1 gold, 6 silver, 1 bronze). Mirabai Chanu won her third successive CWG gold (women’s 48 kg).
- Judo: Best-ever haul of 4 medals (2 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze). Harsh Singh and Asmita Dey became India’s first CWG judo gold medallists.
- Para Powerlifting: 1 bronze.
- Overall para contingent: Record 7 medals (3 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze).
India’s 122-member contingent maximised results in the available events. Standout days included a multi-gold haul on 1 August (especially boxing). The Games closed with the flag handover toward Ahmedabad 2030.
Summary
India maintained its consistent top-four/five status at the Commonwealth Games despite fewer opportunities in 2026. Quality stood out in boxing (historic gold haul), para athletics breakthroughs, judo firsts and Mirabai Chanu’s hat-trick, even as the overall numbers dropped from the fuller Birmingham programme.
Conclusion
The 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow concluded on 2 August 2026 after 11 days of competition across a scaled-back programme of 10 sports (plus integrated para events). Australia dominated the final medal table, finishing clear at the top.
(Slight variations in secondary medals appear across sources; gold rankings and overall order are consistent. Australia’s total is widely reported as 170–171 medals.)
India’s performance stood out as one of the strongest relative to the reduced programme (many traditional strongholds such as badminton, wrestling, hockey and shooting were absent). The contingent finished 4th overall with 39 medals (13 gold, 17 silver, 9 bronze), edging hosts Scotland on silver count. Boxing was the clear highlight, delivering a record 7 golds (plus 3 silvers) — the highest gold haul by any nation in the sport at a single Commonwealth Games. Weightlifting, judo (including India’s first-ever CWG judo golds), para athletics/powerlifting and athletics supplied the rest of the medals. Mirabai Chanu claimed a third successive weightlifting gold.
Australia’s supremacy was driven especially by swimming (dozens of medals) and strong showings across athletics, track cycling and other disciplines. England secured a comfortable second place, while Canada held third.
The Games, hosted at short notice after Victoria’s withdrawal and delivered in a leaner format, closed with the handover of the Commonwealth Games flag toward Ahmedabad 2030. Australia’s dominance and India’s boxing-led surge were the defining stories of the medal tally.
