The 2026 Commonwealth Games have reportedly been revived after spending a year under threat following Victoria’s dramatic decision to withdraw from hosting. The event was already on the brink before Victoria agreed to host it as a regional event, a significant shift from the success of Melbourne 2006 in the afterglow of the Sydney 2000 Olympics . The Commonwealth Games were destined for the scrapheap when the state government walked away last year but a familiar host has now emerged.
Athletics and swimming are guaranteed to make it while hockey and cycling could also feature given the infrastructure is ready to go. It is unclear how athletics would go ahead, though, with Hampden Park unlikely to be converted from football as it was last time.
