The squad includes 77 male and 48 female athletes across 13 sports disciplines, including para-sports. Olympic medallists Mirabai Chanu and Lovlina Borgohain will be leading the Indian contingent as the flag bearer and baton bearer, respectively. Athletics has the highest number of participating athletes with 32 names (10 women and 22 men), followed by boxing (14), judo (14) and weightlifting (12).

The 125-strong contingent at the 2026 Games is significantly smaller than the 210 at the 2022 Games in Birmingham — due to financial constraints, the Glasgow Games are being spread across four existing venues instead of a new CWG village. Sports like cricket, badminton, hockey, squash, table tennis and wrestling, included in 2022, have been cut from the roster this time around.
