Cancelled bids

 * 🇨🇦 Canada
 * Alberta
 * A potential bid from the Province of Alberta, predominantly featuring Calgary, Edmonton and possibily other cities, was examined for the 2030 Commonwealth Games. The bid exploration received a potential for C$4 million in financial backing from the two cities and the province. On 3 August 2023, the Government of Alberta withdrew from Alberta's 2030 Commonwealth Games bid process thereby terminating the bid.
 * Hamilton, Ontario
 * A group of Hamilton businessmen planned a bid for the 2030 edition of the Commonwealth Games to mark 100 years since the city hosted the original games, briefly considered the 2026 edition when it became apparent there would be little other competition to host. But in April 2021, the spokesperson and chair for the Hamilton bid, Lou Frapporti, announced that Hamilton would scrap any bid for the 2026 edition and resume focusing on the 2030 edition instead. Frapporti stated that the reason for resuming focus on 2030 was that the province of Ontario was unlikely to support the 2026 bid due to the 2026 FIFA World Cup being scheduled to have games in Toronto and the unlikelihood of the CGF alternatively allowing for a move to 2027. In February 2023, it was announced that Hamilton was no longer Canada's preferred candidate for the 2030 Commonwealth Games, according to Commonwealth Sport Canada, which is trying to secure the national bid for the event.
