The King’s Baton will visit gatherings across Scotland with 23 days of activity ahead of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony.  

 

Starting on 1st July at the Team Scotland Team Camp in Glasgow, the Baton will attend over 50 events and festivals to celebrate Team Scotland, Scottish sport, the Commonwealth, Scottish culture and the Games.  

 

This year the King’s Baton Relay (KBR) has been reimagined to make it easier for communities to get involved. Rather than travelling continuously through streets, the Baton will use a hub-and-spoke model, bringing it to selected events across Scotland every day.
