Thanks to its innovative new format, the 18th official Baton Relay will be the longest-ever relay for a Commonwealth Games, with the Commonwealth Games Associations in the 74 nations and territories each having up to six days to organise their series of activities – more time to celebrate the King’s Baton Relay than ever before.

The Caribbean will be the first Commonwealth region destination for the King’s Baton Relay, with Trinidad and Tobago starting its Baton celebrations on Tuesday 11 March. The Caribbean part of the Baton Relay will culminate in St Vincent and the Grenadines on Saturday 14 June, before the Relay moves to Africa (15 June to 24 October), then Asia (25 October to 21 December), Oceania (7 January to 26 March 2026), Americas (27 March to 6 May 2026), and Europe (8 May to 23 July 2026).

The International Route is displaying to the end of 2025. The details for the route in 2026 across Oceania, Americas and Europe will be available soon.
