Cameroon competed at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. This marked Cameroon's eighth participation at the games, after making its debut at the 1998 Commonwealth Games.
The King's Baton relay stopped in Cameroon in July 2025. The Cameroon team originally consisted of 24 athletes competing in four sports. However the boxing team withdrew from the games due to internal issues with the Cameroon Boxing Federation. This meant the team size was reduced to 20 athletes.
Athlete Nora Monie was the country's flagbearer during the opening ceremony. Meanwhile, weightlifter Junior Ngadja Nyabeyeu was the baton bearer during the opening ceremony.
Emmanuel Eseme won the country's first medal, a gold in the men's 100 metres sprint, breaking the Games record and national record in the process. Overall the Cameroonian team won five medals, one gold, one silver and three bronze. This ranked the country 16th on the medal table.
