The Commonwealth Games brings a packed daily schedule to the masses across the span of the event, which kicks off in Birmingham this month.

The opening ceremony launches at the Alexander Stadium on Thursday 28th July, and the sporting action begins on Friday with a terrific range of events on offer.

Day One starts in truly great British style with lawn bowls. Swimming, artistic gymnastics, track cycling and a women’s T20 cricket match are also among the opening day highlights, with medals on offer.

There’s a varied range of events coming up each with their own time schedules, with a little bit of something for everyone across 11 days of action.

There’s a grand total of 19 sports on display, more than any other edition of the Commonwealth Games, with multiple disciplines within each of them. Shooting has been dropped from the slate, but judo and cricket have been added to the schedule.

RadioTimes.com brings you the schedule for today’s action at the Commonwealth Games 2022, including TV coverage details and times.
