Golf, BMX and coastal rowing will make their Commonwealth Games debuts when Australia's southern state of Victoria hosts the 2026 edition, organizers said on Wednesday.
Shooting has also returned to the program after being dropped for the 2022 Birmingham Games.
Coastal rowing, which is pushing to be included in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, involves boats competing in open water.
The 2026 Games will be held across several regional cities in Victoria and will feature 22 sports and 26 disciplines, including nine fully integrated para sports, organizers said in a statement.
"Victoria 2026 is also proposing to add in Para-sport disciplines in golf, coastal rowing and the road (cycling) race and will work with the Commonwealth Games Federation and relevant international sporting federations to determine if this is possible," the statement added.
The rural center Shepparton will host the BMX and other cycling, including the men's and women's time trials for the road race.
