The BBC has announced it has won the rights to show the 2010 Commonwealth Games from Delhi in October.

The Games, which get under way from 3 October, will be available across TV, radio, online, iPlayer, mobile and new media outlets across the UK.

"We’re delighted to have exclusive rights for the UK," said BBC Sport’s head of major events Dave Gordon.

"The Games mark another step for athletes across the world as they prepare for the 2012 Olympics."

Gordon added: "We have a rich history of covering the Commonwealth Games and are looking forward to bringing the best of the action to the UK public."

The Commonwealth Games, which include many Olympic sports like athletics, cycling and swimming, were last held in Melbourne, Australia in 2006.
