The Commonwealth Games are kicking off from 28 July to 8 August, airing on Channel Seven, 7mate, and 7plus.
In 60 days, the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games will bring together over 4,500 athletes – more than 400 of those Australian – from 72 nations, with the largest-ever integrated para-sport program, as well as a record number of mixed events.
As the Aussies chase down their previous record medal tally of 87, Seven will be there to bring you all the action, golden moments, achievements, triumph and tragedy, live and free across Seven, 7mate and up to 30 live and replay channels on 7plus.
With live medal moments every day in prime time, it will be Australia’s second-biggest broadcast and digital event following Seven’s award-winning coverage of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
Last year, The Seven Network’s coverage of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games won three awards at the International Olympic Committee’s Golden Rings Awards in Lausanne.
The Golden Rings are the most prestigious awards in Olympic broadcasting and Seven was a big winner on one of international sport’s biggest stages, with its three awards topped only by America’s NBC.
With more than 100 submissions received in each of the 12 Golden Rings categories, Seven won the Gold award for Best Social Media Content/Production for its From Little Things, Big Things Grow #HomeGames campaign. The campaign received thousands of phone-filmed videos from viewers watching the Games at home, making it the highest user-generated content campaign ever for 7SPORT.
Seven also won Silver in the Best Athlete Profile category for its feature on brother and sister BMX riders Kai and Saya Sakakibara, who were both on track to compete in Tokyo 2020 before Kai suffered a serious race accident.
