Top of the Table: How the Standings Look
Australia lead by a distance. With 26 golds and 59 medals overall, their haul already outstrips the next four nations combined. Eleven of their first dozen golds came from the pool before the women’s artistic gymnastics team broke the pattern with a gold of their own. Swimming has carried the early campaign, but athletics, netball and cycling are where Australia will look to protect top spot in the days ahead.
England sit second — a tale of silver. 8 Golds against nine silvers tells the story of a team repeatedly finishing just short at the wall and on the mat. On total medals England are comfortably second; on the gold-first ranking, those near-misses have kept them behind Australia.
Scotland delight the home crowd. Third place with four golds is a strong opening from the hosts, roared on at Tollcross and the Hydro. Scotland’s early pool success has been the feel-good story of the first days.
Nigeria, Canada and South Africa round out the chasing pack, each with three golds and medals spread across weightlifting, Para powerlifting, swimming and athletics.
India at the Commonwealth Games 2026
India sit eighth on the medal table with four medals — one gold, two silver and one bronze — a solid start with the athletics programme only just beginning.
The gold came from weightlifting great Mirabai Chanu, who completed a hat-trick of Commonwealth Games titles in the women’s event, one of the standout individual performances of the Games so far. Rishikanta Singh added silver in the men’s 60kg weightlifting category, setting a Games record in the snatch along the way. Boxer Lovlina Borgohain has already been assured of at least a bronze after a bye into her semifinal.
With athletics now underway at Scotstoun Stadium — and India’s biggest names, including Neeraj Chopra in the javelin (30 July–1 August), still to compete — India will be aiming to climb the standings sharply in the back half of the Games.
India Medal Winners So Far
| Medal | Athlete | Sport | Event |

Records Already Broken at Glasgow 2026
Individual history is being made alongside the team race. On the opening night of competition, South Africa’s Chad Le Clos won his 19th career Commonwealth Games medal in the men’s 4x100m freestyle relay, becoming the most decorated male athlete in Commonwealth Games history. He now sits just one medal behind Australia’s Emma McKeon, whose career total of 20 — set at Birmingham 2022 — remains the all-time record for any athlete at the Games.

To put Glasgow’s numbers in context, here is how the previous edition finished.
| Pos | Nation | Gold | Silver | Bronze | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Australia | 67 | 57 | 55 | 179 |
| 2 | England | 57 | 66 | 53 | 176 |
| 3 | Canada | 26 | 32 | 34 | 92 |
| 4 | India | 22 | 16 | 23 | 61 |
| 5 | New Zealand | 20 | 12 | 17 | 49 |
Australia topped Birmingham 2022 with 67 golds and remain the most successful nation in Commonwealth Games history. India finished fourth with 61 medals — though with badminton, wrestling, hockey, squash and table tennis all absent from the Glasgow programme, a direct comparison this year isn’t like-for-like.
How the Medal Table Ranking Works
The Commonwealth Games medal table is ordered by the number of gold medals first. If two nations have the same number of golds, the one with more silver ranks higher; if still level, bronze decides it. Nations tied on all three share the same rank and are listed alphabetically by their three-letter code. This is why a nation with fewer total medals can rank above one with more — golds are what count.
