Explained simply
The Commonwealth Games is a multi-sport event held every four years, bringing together athletes from countries and territories associated with the Commonwealth. Its programme includes sports such as athletics, swimming and cycling.
The host city changes from one edition to the next. Glasgow is due to host the Games in 2026, having also hosted them in 2014; the event’s history spans many cities across several continents.
Knowing the host cities offers a way to explore how the Games have moved around over time. The quiz tests that knowledge as part of BBC Sport’s series of sports quizzes.
