Victoria will host the 2026 Commonwealth Games with the Australian state's regional centres organising the majority of events in a break from the traditional single host city model. The Games will be staged in March 2026.

An initial list of 16 sports, including T20 cricket, have been put forward for the Games, with further sports to be added later this year. The initial list, however, does not feature disciplines such as shooting and wrestling, sports in which India has done well in the previous editions of the sporting extravaganza. Archery also does not feature in the list.
