Commonwealth Games 2026 Day 6 is underway in Glasgow, Scotland, and India has already pushed its medal tally into double figures. Swimming continues at Tollcross ahead of Wednesday’s closing session, netball’s group stage rolls on at the OVO Hydro, and athletics enters its second full day at Scotstoun Stadium.
Here is everything you need to know: results, medal table, schedule, and key highlights from Day 6 in Glasgow.
Australia continues to lead the overall medal table, powered heavily by a dominant swimming program that has produced the bulk of its golds so far. England sits in the chasing pack in second, with host nation Scotland enjoying a strong home crowd boost inside the OVO Hydro and the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.
India has climbed to 10th-place territory, now sitting on 10 total medals: two gold, five silver, and three bronze. That’s more than double the tally India held entering Day 5, reflecting a genuinely strong stretch of results across weightlifting and combat sports over the last two days.
Swimming remains a major focus on Day 6, with the competition at Tollcross International Swimming Centre running through Wednesday, July 29. India’s five-man swimming squad, led by Srihari Nataraj and Aryan Nehra, continues chasing the country’s first able-bodied swimming medal in Commonwealth Games history.
Athletics enters its second day at Scotstoun Stadium. India’s deep track and field roster, including Gulveer Singh, Parul Chaudhary, and Tajinderpal Singh Toor, is looking to build on Day 5’s high jump and sprint efforts. Neeraj Chopra’s javelin final remains to come later in the Games.
Weightlifting continues through July 30, giving India’s medal-rich weightlifting squad further chances to add to Mirabai Chanu‘s hat-trick gold and Rishikanta Singh’s Games-record silver from earlier in the week. Boxing also progresses toward the knockout rounds, with Lovlina Borgohain already guaranteed at least a bronze medal after her quarterfinal bye.
Netball’s group stage continues at the OVO Hydro on Day 6, part of a tournament structure that runs group matches through July 31 before knockout rounds begin. Host nation Scotland remains a story of its own throughout Glasgow 2026, with home crowds giving the host nation a genuine lift across cycling, gymnastics, and combat sports since the Games opened.
Swimming has also produced some of the tournament’s biggest individual milestones so far. South Africa’s Chad Le Clos moved to 19 career Commonwealth Games medals earlier in the week, closing in on Australian swimmer Emma McKeon’s all-time record of 20.
India enters Day 6 with real momentum after climbing from four medals to 10 across the last two days. Weightlifting and combat sports have carried the load so far, while athletics and swimming, historically tougher medal sources for India at the Commonwealth Games, still have their biggest days ahead.
Converting strong athletics performances into podium finishes over the coming days will determine whether India can climb further up the table before the Games close on August 2.
