The Commonwealth Games begin on Thursday, bringing together some of the very best athletes in the world.
Glasgow plays host to the 2026 edition, having first held the Games 12 years ago.
Plenty of Team GB athletes are set to compete for their respective nations, in an international sporting event that dates back almost 100 years.
How do the Commonwealth Games differ from the Olympic Games?
Like the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games occur every four years and feature various sporting stars battling it out for coveted medals.
Unlike the Olympic Games, however, they only feature athletes from across the Commonwealth, which mostly comprises former British Empire territories.
There are also some differences in the sports contested, with non-Olympic sports netball and bowls featuring in the Commonwealth Games.
The Games first began in 1930 and are one of the oldest multi-sport events outside the Olympics.
Who do British and Northern Irish athletes compete for?
Most British athletes compete for either Team England, Team Scotland or Team Wales, while Northern Irish competitors represent Team Northern Ireland.
The Crown Dependencies (Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey) are also represented, while British Overseas Territories, such as Gibraltar, have their own Commonwealth Games teams.
Which sports are set to feature at Glasgow 2026?
Glasgow 2026 will be a scaled-down version of the Commonwealth Games - the Scottish city only stepped in to host in September 2024, after the Australian state of Victoria pulled out.
Ten sports are set to be contested, beginning with the bowls and para bowls on 23 July and ending with the track cycling and para track cycling 10 days later.
After bowls and para bowls kick things off on Day 0, the first 3x3 basketball and 3x3 wheelchair basketball matches begin on Day 1.
They are followed by artistic gymnastics, swimming and para swimming, boxing and para powerlifting.
And the action does not stop there, with athletics, judo, netball, weightlifting, track cycling and para track cycling also on the agenda.
Which Team GB athletes should you look out for?
Leading the way is one of the most well-known British swimmers of his generation: Adam Ramsay-Peaty.
The three-time Olympic champion will be competing for Team England in his favoured breaststroke events, aiming for a fifth Commonwealth gold back where it all began.
Another Team GB swimmer competing in Glasgow is Jack McMillan, who will swim for Team Northern Ireland.
McMillan was part of the 4x200m freestyle gold medal-winning relay team at Paris 2024 and won a World Championship gold in the same event the following year. He will face some of this relay colleagues in the individual 200m freestyle with Team Scotland's Duncan Scott, Team Wales' Matt Richards and Team England pair Tom Dean and James Guy all going for gold.
Team Wales features cyclist Emma Finucane, who won women’s team sprint gold in Paris and bronze on her Commonwealth debut in 2022.
For Team Scotland, Laura Muir will star in the 5,000m at Glasgow’s Scotstoun Stadium, in the absence of the 1500m event that she won at Birmingham 2022.
While the mile will be contested in Glasgow, Muir wants to build endurance ahead of LA 2028, so her primary focus is the longer distance.
And Muir’s fellow Team Scotland athlete, Jake Wightman, will be attempting to knock compatriot and newly crowned mile world record holder Josh Kerr off his pedestal.
The double Commonwealth bronze medallist won silver at the 2025 World Championships and will take on Kerr in the mile in Glasgow.
