Imran suggested that Kuala Lumpur would be willing to wait to enter the race for the 2026 event instead of staging it in 2022. The city staged the 1998 Commonwealth Games as well as the 2001 and the 2017 Southeast Asian Games. North america Edmonton, Canada Edmonton is Canada 's fifth - largest city and the second - largest city in, as well as the capital of the Province of, Alberta.

On February 11, 2015, Edmonton announced it was withdrawing its bid to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games, citing financial reasons and a global fall in oil prices. The bid team will instead focus on the 2026 event. Edmonton is likely to withdraw its bid should Calgary be successful in its bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Oceania Perth, Australia The host of the 1962 Commonwealth Games has started their review into infrastructure needed. After building Perth Stadium a 60,000 seat stadium the West Australian capital has been urged to bid. An audit of the city 's sporting facilities has been commissioned to determine what infrastructure upgrades would be needed to host the event. Auckland, New Zealand The events arm of Auckland Council has raised the possibility of a bid to host the Commonwealth Games, possibly as early as 2026. Key figures have backed the idea, saying New Zealand needs to take its turn at hosting the Games, which were last there in Auckland in 1990. Auckland also hosted the 2017 World Masters Games. World Masters Games chief executive Jennah Wootten also expressed her hope that New Zealand will investigate the possibility of staging the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Christchurch, New Zealand In the 2017 General Election, Councillor Raf Manji ran as an independent candidate for the electorate of Ilam. As a major part of his campaign he promoted the idea of having Christchurch host the 2026 Commonwealth Games. He envisioned Christchurch to host the games with new facilities yet to be built : these would include a large scale stadium and a metro sports facility, replacing those damaged and demolished in the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Councillor Manji believed it would provide an opportunity for the city to incorporate large scale investment into a promotional sporting event. Raf Manji garnered 22.8 % of the electorates vote but lost to incumbent Gerry Brownlee. There has been much public support for the hosting of the games in Christchurch, with articles being published in local papers and at least one submission being made to the Christchurch City Council, prior to Councillor Raf Manji 's election campaign. Much of this support has come from people who remember the 1974 Commonwealth Games held in the city, the games were very popular and were deemed by many as a rare success of such a large sporting event. Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea, is considering bidding for the 2026 Commonwealth Games after hosting the 2015 Pacific Games. The city hosted the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women 's World Cup. It is the only remaining bidding city not have previously hosted the Games. Cancelled potential bids Europe Liverpool, England Liverpool was planning to bid for the 2026 games, but only if funding is available from the UK Government. Mayor Joe Anderson argued that Liverpool could use the Games as ' a catalyst for regeneration ' across the city region if successful. Anderson has also suggested that a proposed new Everton stadium could play a key part in a Commonwealth Games bid. Liverpool put in a bid for the 2022 Commonwealth Games but lost out to Birmingham, and now that Birmingham has been confirmed as host for 2022, the next Games after that will not be held in England. Birmingham, England Birmingham was planning to bid for the 2026 games.

The Alexander Stadium, Villa Park, Edgbaston and the Barclaycard Arena were to be the bidding venues. Birmingham successfully bid for the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Cardiff, Wales Cardiff was previously interested in bidding for the 2022 games, with some events to be held in Newport and Swansea, however Cardiff City Council announced they are instead in discussions for a bid for the 2026 games. On 26 July 2016 it was announced that Cardiff will not look to host the Commonwealth Games in 2026. Media reports stated this was due to the uncertain situation regarding Brexit and funding concerns. It was announced on 27 May 2017 that the Welsh Government were in `` discussions '', and considering a joint bid with Birmingham or Liverpool to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games, following Durban 's rights to host the event being stripped due to financial difficulty. Wales mainly sought to host outdoor events such as the Triathlon, Rowing or cycling 's road race in the 2022 games. A Welsh post 2030 bid is also a possibility.
