The Commonwealth Games 2026 boxing competition is underway in Glasgow, and Indian fans have plenty of reasons to keep watching. Held at Hall 5 of the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) from July 24 to August 1, this year’s boxing program features 14 medal events across men’s and women’s weight categories.
India’s Campaign So Far
India sent a 14-member boxing squad to Glasgow, led by Olympic medallist Lovlina Borgohain. The early rounds have already produced good news. Lovlina received a bye straight into the semifinals of the women’s 75kg category because only five boxers entered her weight class, guaranteeing her at least a bronze medal without throwing a punch.
Sakshi Chaudhary, who earned her spot in the squad by beating former world champions in the national trials, also secured a medal with a dominant 5-0 win over Northern Ireland’s Caitlyn Fryers in the women’s 51kg quarterfinal. Not every result has gone India’s way. Aditya Pratap Singh became the first Indian boxer eliminated, losing in the round of 16 of the men’s 65kg division.
What Happens Next
The preliminary rounds ran from July 24 to July 29, with quarterfinals held on July 28 and 29. The medal rounds are split across two remaining days: semifinals on July 31 and the gold medal bouts on August 1. Since every boxer who reaches the semifinals is guaranteed a medal under Commonwealth Games rules, the next 48 hours will decide how many colours India adds to its tally.
How to Follow the Action
Sessions are broadcast live in India on the Sony Sports Network and streamed on Sony LIV, with select coverage also on Doordarshan. Preliminary bouts typically run in two sessions each day, while the big semifinal and final sessions on July 31 and August 1 are spread across the afternoon and evening in Indian Standard Time.
Why This Matters for India
India have won 44 boxing medals at the Commonwealth Games so far, including 11 gold. With a mixed squad of experienced campaigners and rising talents, this edition offers a real chance to add to that count. Whether you are tracking Lovlina’s push for gold or hoping a debutant surprises the field, the next few days of boxing in Glasgow promise to be must-watch sport.
