“Glasgow 2026 represents a landmark moment for TNT Sports as we bring the full scale of our storytelling, production expertise and multi-platform innovation to one of the world’s most celebrated sporting events. Our ambition is simple: to deliver the most comprehensive, Commonwealth Games experience ever seen in the U.K. and Ireland.

“With every event live on HBO Max, world class analysis from our unrivalled roster of champions and a digital offer built for modern sport fans, we are incredibly proud to showcase the athletes, the stories and the spirit of these Games in a way TNT Sports has become known for.”

TNT SPORTS AND HBO MAX ON THE STARTLINE TO DELIVER UNPRECEDENTED GAMES EXPERIENCE
In a brand-new innovation for the Commonwealth Games, TNT Sports 2 will host ‘The Commonwealth Games 360’ - a dynamic channel available to linear and streaming viewers ensuring fans never miss a key moment.

Emma Dodds will anchor the morning session, with Radzi Chinyanganya and Becky Ives fronting the afternoon and evening coverage.

The state-of-the-art on-site studio, supported by augmented reality graphics and cutting-edge analysis tools will ensure enhanced storytelling. A comprehensive team of reporters and roaming crews will be stationed across competition venues, delivering breaking news, updates and athlete interviews.

More traditional event-focused live coverage will be screened on TNT Sports 3 and TNT Sports 4 – available on HBO Max to U.K customers and linear TV subscribers in U.K and Ireland.
