=== Anthems ===
"[[God Save the King]]" is an official or [[national anthem]] of [[God Save the King#Use in other Commonwealth countries|multiple Commonwealth countries]] and dependent territories. As a result, and due to the [[countries of the United Kingdom]] competing individually, its use is prohibited during official events, medal ceremonies or before matches in team events.<ref>{{cite web|title=11 Things You Didn't Know about National Anthems|url=https://www.birmingham2022.com/news/2724264/www.birmingham2022.com/news/2724264/11-things-you-didn-t-know-about-national-anthems|access-date=7 August 2022|website=Commonwealth Games – Birmingham 2022}}{{Dead link|date=August 2023|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
With the revision of this rule made before the 2010 Games, some national anthems used were changed and in some cases they differ from a currently-eligible country's national or official anthem(s):
