The wait is almost over as the 2022 Commonwealth Games that are being held in Birmingham, England are nigh upon us. The tournament begins on July 28, and will conclude on August 8. India has sent a 214-member strong contingent and will be participating in 16 events across the tournament. Following India’s best-ever Olympics campaign last year in Tokyo, hopes for the Indian athletes are higher than ever in the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
To ensure that you can follow the progress of the Indian athletes, we have put together a clear and concise schedule that you can refer to in order to keep in touch with the action at all times and not miss out on any high-profile moments.
Before we begin, do note that some of the events shall be taking place well into the night, spilling over to the next calendar day owing to time zone differences. We have added a * on those times, and placed the event in the schedule assuming it is happening on the same night rather than on the next day.
