A total of seven gold medals will be on offer for the sport of bowls for Glasgow 2026 following the latest developments from the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF).

More than 200 events will be contested across the streamlined competition, the 23rd of its kind, with bowls set to be staged indoors for the first time in the event’s history.

The sport will see the singles and pairs disciplines contested in both the open men’s and women’s schedule, with the para component to remain the same as Birmingham 2022 that consisted of men’s and women’s B6-B8 pairs as well as the vision impaired mixed pairs.

It is unknown what the athlete allocation will look like across the open disciplines with more information to be provided over the coming months.
