The 23rd Commonwealth Games will take place from Thursday, 23 July, to Sunday, 2 August 2026, bringing together athletes from across the Commonwealth. Millfield's selections currently include eight current students, 10 Old Millfieldians, two former Performance Swimming Squad members and one member of staff.

All eight current students selected will compete in swimming events. Upper Sixth students Filip Nowacki and Tilly Collymore will represent Jersey and Grenada respectively, while Sophie Davies and Megs Higgs will compete for Wales.

A further 10 Old Millfieldians and two former Performance Swimming Squad members have also been selected to represent their nations this summer. Of those, 10 will compete in swimming, one in long jump and one in track cycling.
