Australia is dominating Glasgow 2026 faster than most of us can reasonably keep count of all the gold medals coming out of the Commonwealth Games.
We’re currently leading the Commonwealth Games medal table with 47 gold, 21 silver and 35 bronze medals as of 30 July. That puts us 35 golds clear of England, with swimming and para swimming contributing 37 gold medals to the tally.
Seven says 7.8 million Australians have already sampled its coverage across the first three days of the Games, so people are definitely tuning in. But with the events running overnight and medals arriving across multiple sessions, plenty of individual winners have been easy to miss.
What Makes Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games Different?
Glasgow 2026 is a touch smaller than previous editions of the Commonwealth Games, but clearly not short on medals.
The 23rd Commonwealth Games runs from 23 July to 2 August, bringing together 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories in Scotland. Instead of spreading events across a large host region, the Games are concentrated within four venues along an eight-mile corridor in Glasgow.
Even with the deliberately tightened competition program, Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games still features 10 sports, six integrated Para sports and 215 gold-medal events across 133 sessions. Athletics, swimming, track cycling, gymnastics, netball, boxing, bowls, judo, weightlifting and 3×3 basketball make up the program, alongside their included Para disciplines.
How To Watch The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games
For Australian viewers, the schedule presents an even trickier viewing problem than the recent 2026 FIFA World Cup. Seven’s live coverage runs from 7pm through to 7:30am AEST, meaning many of the biggest finals arrive after midnight or around breakfast.
The network is carrying the Games across Seven, 7plus Sport and a dedicated 24-hour channel, but the volume of simultaneous competition still makes individual results easy to miss.
So, whether you haven’t been staying up all night to watch the Games or simply need an update on how we’re going, here’s every Australian gold so far, grouped by competition day in Glasgow 2026.
