Here’s how Dundee Culture will be covering the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games

With the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games getting underway today, Dundee Culture is once again bringing comprehensive coverage of the athletes from Dundee and Tayside as they compete on one of the biggest sporting stages in the world.

From live updates and athlete features to medal celebrations and behind-the-scenes stories, here’s everything you need to know about our Commonwealth Games coverage over the next 10 days.

What is Team Tayside?

Team Tayside is Dundee Culture’s dedicated coverage of athletes from across Dundee and Tayside who are representing Team Scotland at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

The aim is simple: to give local athletes the spotlight they deserve and help supporters across the region follow their journeys throughout the Games.

Whether it’s a medal-winning performance, a personal best or a memorable debut, we’ll be celebrating every achievement along the way.

Where can I follow the coverage?

Dundee Culture’s main Commonwealth Games hub will be available on the Dundee Culture website, bringing together everything you need in one place.

The Team Tayside hub will include athlete profiles, daily competition schedules, medal updates, feature articles, results, social media integration and other content celebrating the Games and the athletes representing our region.

The hub has been designed as the home of Dundee Culture’s Glasgow 2026 coverage, making it easy to keep up with everything happening throughout the competition.

What will be posted on social media?

Major stories, breaking news and medal-winning performances will be shared across Dundee Culture’s Facebook and Instagram pages.

Throughout each day, followers can also expect regular updates through Facebook and Instagram Stories, providing quick results, behind-the-scenes moments, schedule reminders and the latest action as it happens.

The combination of the website, social media posts and story updates means supporters can follow Team Tayside wherever they are.

Have Dundee Culture covered the Commonwealth Games before?

Yes. Glasgow 2026 marks the fourth Commonwealth Games to receive dedicated coverage from Dundee Culture.

Coverage first began during Glasgow 2014, before returning for the Gold Coast in 2018 and Birmingham in 2022, where Dundee and Tayside athletes enjoyed one of their greatest ever Games.

The Birmingham coverage became the single most-reached event in Dundee Culture’s history, with millions of people following the achievements of local athletes as they won medals and inspired communities across the region.

With another home Commonwealth Games taking place in Scotland, Dundee Culture hopes to once again bring supporters closer to the action than ever before.

Why focus on Dundee and Tayside?

The Tayside region has consistently produced some of Scotland’s finest Commonwealth athletes.

From Eilish McColgan and Laura Muir to Mark Stewart, Sam Hickey and the next generation of sporting talent, the region has built an extraordinary reputation for producing athletes capable of competing — and winning — on the international stage.

Dundee Culture believes these stories deserve dedicated local coverage, ensuring every athlete receives recognition from the communities they proudly represent.

How can I watch the Commonwealth Games?

There are several ways to follow the action live throughout Glasgow 2026.

TNT Sports is the principal broadcaster for live coverage across the United Kingdom, with Channel 5 broadcasting a nightly highlights programme featuring the day’s biggest stories and medal moments. BBC Alba will also provide coverage in Scottish Gaelic, offering viewers another way to enjoy the Games.

Alongside the television coverage, Dundee Culture will be providing local updates focused specifically on Team Tayside, ensuring supporters never miss a moment from the athletes representing Dundee, Angus, Perth & Kinross and Fife.

How can I stay up to date?
