India Men’s Hockey Team at Commonwealth Games 2026: What Fans Need to Know

Hockey is not part of the Commonwealth Games 2026 programme. Here is why India's men's hockey team is missing from Glasgow, and where to follow them instead.

Editor’s note: Hockey is not part of the Commonwealth Games 2026 programme in Glasgow. Along with wrestling, badminton, table tennis, squash and cricket, hockey was dropped after original host Victoria, Australia withdrew in 2023 over spiralling costs. Glasgow’s rescue plan reduced the Games to just 10 core sports held across four venues, and hockey, part of the Commonwealth Games since 1988, did not make the cut. There is no India men’s or women’s hockey competition, no hockey results, and no hockey medals to report at Glasgow 2026.

For fans searching for India men’s hockey team fixtures at Glasgow 2026, the short answer is that there are none, as hockey was excluded from this edition’s programme entirely. See our explainer on why there are no hockey results at all this year for the full background on the decision.
