SSC CGL - 16 Sep 2025 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q43

Which city is set to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games after Australia withdraw from hosting?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Glasgow.

Following the withdrawal of Victoria, Australia, in 2023 due to rising costs, the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) officially confirmed Glasgow as the host city. To ensure financial viability, the 2026 edition will be a "scaled-back" version compared to previous years. It is scheduled to take place from July 23 to August 2, 2026, featuring a concentrated program of approximately 10 sports held across four existing venues to minimize infrastructure spending.
