Where are the Commonwealth Games 2022?

When it first formulated its bidding route in 2016, Birmingham, England had been targeting the 2026 Games. That changed when Durban, South Africa was stripped of the showpiece in March 2017 after failing to meet financial deadlines.

Liverpool also expressed an interest, and the UK government decided to back the Birmingham bid, which hit a hitch when the federation behind the Games declared its plan "not fully compliant" and extended a deadline for potential rival bids.

The West Midlands city eventually triumphed, winning praise for the diversity of a local population containing people originating from all of the Commonwealth member federations.

There are 16 venues hosting events, including flagship setting the Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr, which will have a capacity of around 30,000 thanks to temporary seating and has been renovated at a cost of £72 million ($87.8 million).

The arena in nearby city Coventry will host judo and wrestling, and the glorious Cannock Chase Forest is a picturesque backdrop for cycling.

The Sandwell Aquatics Centre will put on the pool events, and the iconic Edgbaston Stadium - best known as the home of Warwickshire - will welcome T20 cricket.

When is the Commonwealth Games 2022 Opening Ceremony and Closing Ceremony?

Up to a billion people are expected to tune in when the opening ceremony takes place at a full-capacity Alexander Stadium on July 28, overseen by Games Creative Director Iqbal Khan.

The ceremony will take place 10 years and a day after the opening of the London 2012 Olympic Games, with two-time British Academy of Film and Television Arts award-winner Hamish Hamilton as broadcast director.

Steven Knight, the creator of hit Birmingham-set TV series Peaky Blinders, is also part of a team featuring award-winning writer Maeve Clarke and rapper Joshua 'RTKal' Holness.

Alexander Stadium will also host the closing ceremony on August 8, which is being described as an "emotional and exciting" event honouring international sport and "the pride and passion that comes with representing one's country".

Games chief creative officer Martin Green has promised CGI, special effects and more. "The core creative team assembled to imagine the Opening Ceremony is drawn from a diverse range of disciplines, from theatre to literature, TV to stage production," he said.
