The 20th Commonwealth Games will be 11 days of top competition hosted in Glasgow in July and August 2014.

Having previously hosted the 1970 and 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, this will be the largest multi-sport event ever held in Scotland.

Over the last decade the country has also staged World, Commonwealth, European or British events in all 17 sports in the 2014 Games roster.

BBC Sport will be right at the heart of the action with coverage across BBC television, radio, and via the BBC iPlayer Radio app, BBC Sport website and BBC Sport app.

Wednesday 23 July

Opening ceremony at Celtic Park

The ceremony will include the Parade of Nations - a formal procession by 4,500 athletes and their coaches - and the end of the Queen's Baton Relay, the conclusion of an epic journey which has included visiting the 71 Commonwealth nations and territories.
