2030 Commonwealth Games


The 2030 Commonwealth Games, officially known as the XXIV Commonwealth Games and commonly known as Amdavad 2030 or Ahmedabad 2030, is a planned multi-sport event scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, in October 2030. This will be the second Commonwealth Games to be hosted in India, following the 2010 Games in Delhi, and the third in Asia. It will also be the centenary edition of the event.

Host selection

Potential host cities began exploring bids as early as 2021. A deadline of 31 March 2025 was set for potential host cities to express interest in hosting, and a deadline of 31 August 2025 was set for bid dossiers. India and Nigeria submitted formal proposals to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games by the 31 August deadline, Commonwealth Sport announced on 1 September. On 15 October 2025, Commonwealth Sport announced that the Indian bid had been recommended by its bid evaluation commission. The 2030 Commonwealth Games host city election was held during the Commonwealth Sport General Assembly in Glasgow on 26 November 2025. During the assembly, Commonwealth Sport officially declared Amdavad as the official host of the centennial edition of the Commonwealth Games.

    Sports

In October 2021, the CGF announced a new Games roadmap that will, starting with the 2030 Commonwealth Games, change the requirements for competed sports. The roadmap suggests that between 15 and 17 sports should be competed at each edition. There will be a new category of "Compulsory Sports", containing just athletics and swimming, as well as their para-sport counterparts. The category of "Core Sports" will cease to exist, and all other sports will have the same status; however, each host will have complete freedom to choose the program for their edition from a previously assembled list, as long as the maximum number of 17 sports is not exceeded. If necessary, the hosts could suggest the addition of other sports that respect local demands.
Following the formal announcement of the host city on 26 November 2025, the first eight sports for 2030 were confirmed for the event, namely athletics, swimming, table tennis, bowls, weightlifting, together with artistic gymnastics, netball and boxing. A further seven to nine sports from the following list of fifteen optional sports will also be chosen at a later date; archery, badminton, 3x3 basketball, beach volleyball, T20 cricket, cycling, diving, hockey, judo, rhythmic gymnastics, rugby sevens, shooting, squash, triathlon and wrestling - along with up to two host-chosen new or traditional sports, including kabaddi.
