Commonwealth Games appearances (overview)

England competed at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham between 28 July and 8 August 2022. Having competed at every Games since their 1930 inauguration, it was England's twenty-second appearance (and third appearance as the host nation).

Following the CGF's decision to revoke Durban's hosting rights,[1] Birmingham was chosen as the English host candidate and submitted its bid.[2] Though originally deemed not fully compliant, adjustments to the bid ensured the city was awarded the hosting rights in December 2017.[3]

Jack Laugher and Emily Campbell were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony,[4] and Jake Jarman was the country's flagbearer at the closing ceremony.[5]
