On March 26, Hamilton was selected as the country's preferred host city for the 2030 games, according to Commonwealth Sport Canada CEO Brian MacPherson. That same day, the Hamilton 100 Committee, which assembled the bid, was notified by the Commonwealth Games Federation that they could choose to host the 2026 games, as there were no other potential bidders. The bid group has until the end of April to express interest in pursuing the 2026 games. To be officially awarded the gig, the bid group will need to satisfy all requirements and receive multi-party agreement. Should the bid group decide not to pursue 2026, they will likely have to compete against international bidders for 2030.
