The 2026 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, also known as CHOGM 2026, will be the 28th Meeting of the Heads of Government of the Commonwealth of Nations. The meeting is scheduled to be held in Antigua and Barbuda in 2026, in the capital city of St. John's.[1] Antigua and Barbuda will be the smallest state to have hosted a Commonwealth summit. The expected topics of discussion include the challenges faced by Small Island Developing States (SIDS), climate change, international trade, and economic innovation.[2] This would also be the first summit for Secretary-General Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey who was elected in the 2024 Summit and will be taking up the position on 1 April 2025.
Antigua and Barbuda was chosen as host on the final day of the 2024 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa.[3]
