The 1st Edition of the Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship 2026 is scheduled to take place from 21 October to 31 October 2026. Because kabaddi is not included in the main multi-sport program for the Commonwealth Games, this serves as a historic, standalone tournament to showcase the sport globally.
The tournament is set to take place from October 21 to October 31, 2026. Before the AKFI announced the final dates, the schedule for the inaugural edition underwent significant changes; the dates were initially set for October 10 to October 20, 2026. However, the event had to be shifted to the latter part of the month due to certain key reasons.
This tournament will be held at the Veer Savarkar Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. This same venue will also host the centenary edition of the Commonwealth Games four years later, and it will be interesting to see how it handles the atmosphere of tension and excitement associated with hosting such a prestigious event.
13 Commonwealth countries will participate in the inaugural Commonwealth Kabaddi Championship, to be held in 2026.
