Inside Athletics will be on the ground in Glasgow for the 2026 Commonwealth Games, bringing you independent Australian coverage of the athletics program at Scotstoun from 27 July to 1 August.
Photographer Fred Etter will be covering the Games for Inside Athletics, capturing the Australian team in action across all six days of competition. Fred’s images will run throughout our coverage — from the heats through to the medal ceremonies — giving you a view of the Games you won’t find anywhere else in Australian athletics media.
But we’re not stopping at photos and reports. For Glasgow, we’re building a second screen experience designed to sit alongside the broadcast. While you’re watching the action live, Inside Athletics will be your companion — session previews, stats, results as they happen, and the context behind every Australian performance. Think of it as the tab you keep open next to the TV.
We’ll also be publishing a series of athlete features in the lead-up to and during the Games. The Australian team heading to Glasgow carries some remarkable stories, and we’ll be telling them: the journeys, the setbacks, the selection battles, and what a Commonwealth Games means at this point in each athlete’s career.
It’s going to be a big week. We can’t wait to bring you along.
First stop: the London Diamond League this weekend, the last hit-out for some of Australia’s top athletes.
