Commonwealth Games presenters on BBC TV: Meet the pundits and commentators
Your complete guide to the presenters, experts and commentators guiding you through the Commonwealth Games live on BBC this summer.
We're now on the fourth day of the Commonwealth Games 2022 and the competition has already got off to a fierce, shocking and hugely entertaining start.
A win for James Wilby in the 100m breaststroke is among the many surprise results so far during the games, as the BBC's airwaves have been taken over by the contest, which is taking place in Birmingham this year.
As is expected with a competition of this size, there is an array of top-tier presenters, experts, former competitors and commentators currently appearing across the BBC's various channels, as they provide their own informed analysis.
Viewers will recognise most of the team from previous appearances across the BBC's sports coverage, whether it's established hosts Hazel Irvine, Gabby Logan and Clare Balding, or pundits and commentators such as Michael Johnson, Steve Cram and Jess Ennis-Hill.
So if you were wondering who's in front of the camera for this year's Games, read on for our full guide to the BBC's line-up.
