The 1978 Commonwealth Games were held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, from 3 to 12 August, two years after the 1976 Summer Olympics was held in Montreal, Quebec. They were boycotted by Nigeria, in protest at New Zealand's sporting contacts with apartheid-era South Africa, as well as by Uganda, in protest at alleged Canadian hostility towards the government of Idi Amin.{{cite book|author1=Donald Macintosh|author2=Michael Hawes|author3=Donna Ruth Greenhorn|author4=David Ross Black|title=Sport and Canadian Diplomacy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=G_TwFYjUfssC&pg=PA81|date=5 April 1994|publisher=McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP|isbn=978-0-7735-1161-3|page=81}} The Bid Election was held at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.

This was the first Commonwealth Games where a computerized system was used to handle ticket sales. This was the first Commonwealth Games to be named Commonwealth Games, having dropped British. The Games were opened by Queen Elizabeth II for the first time since becoming Queen in 1952.
