Katie Sadleir, Chief Executive of Commonwealth Sport, said: “We are delighted to welcome S4C as an official broadcast partner for Glasgow 2026.

“This partnership reflects our commitment to making Glasgow 2026 as accessible and inclusive as possible, ensuring more people can connect with the moments that make the Commonwealth Games so special.”

Lauren Salter will present S4C’s coverage, alongside Alun Williams, who will report live from Glasgow each evening.
