England at the 2022 Commonwealth Games
England competed at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham between 28 July and 8 August 2022. Having competed at every Games since their 1930 inauguration, it was England's twenty-second appearance (and third appearance as the host nation). Following the CGF's decision to revoke Durban's hosting rights, Birmingham was chosen as the English host candidate and submitted its bid. Though originally deemed not fully compliant, adjustments to the bid ensured the city was awarded the hosting rights in December 2017. Jack Laugher and Emily Campbell were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony, and Jake Jarman was the country's flagbearer at the closing ceremony. Administration
On 19 September 2019, Commonwealth Games England announced that Mark England had been appointed Chef de Mission for the England team in Birmingham. He fulfilled the same role for Team GB at both the 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympics in Rio and Tokyo respectively. Competitors
