CHOGM 2026 side event: Commonwealth Sport Summit

Event date: 02 November 2026, 13:00 - 18:30 (AST / UTC-4)

This half-day, action-oriented summit will be hosted in partnership with Commonwealth Sport to unlock sport’s full contribution to Commonwealth priorities. The summit is designed to deliver tangible outcomes and partnerships that will elevate the sector’s impact. 

Sport remains one of the most visible and emotionally resonant expressions of Commonwealth identity. Across continents, cultures and generations, it provides a shared language that binds 56 member countries and connects 2.7 billion people. 

Ensuring sport is positioned to enable a united, resilient Commonwealth for the next 100 years is best achieved through collective action among governments, the sport movement, private enterprise, development finance institutions, communities and partners, including accredited organisations.   

Expected outcomes include:  

  • A Commonwealth Sport and Sustainable Development Call to Action  
  • Evidence of sport’s contribution to trade, democratic and climate policy agendas  
  • New partnerships and investment pathways
