Blue-chip partners join the 2026 Commonwealth Games

AAMI, Harvey Norman, Woolworths, Hancock Prospecting and Kidman have signed on as principal sponsors, joined by Chemist Warehouse and BUPA as major integrated brands. 

With the opening ceremony set for 4.45am this Friday, Glasgow 2026 will bring together 3,000 athletes from 74 nations and territories – representing more than 2.5 billion people, or a third of the world’s population – across 10 days and 133 sessions of sport, with 215 gold medals on offer across 10 sports including six Para sports.

Seven’s National Television Sales Director, Katie Finney, said: “What sets Glasgow 2026 apart is that this event is exclusive to our platforms, where our partners have the opportunity to capture the full breadth of audience across broadcast, audio, extensive live and on-demand content on Seven, 7plus Sport, the 7SPORT social platforms and the Hit and Triple M networks."

Finney added: "Few events in the Australian sporting calendar offer that kind of combined scale, and we can’t wait for the action to start. Locking in partners of this calibre for Glasgow 2026 reflects the confidence brands have in live sport as a marketing investment right now.”
