This was the ninth running of the 400 metres event at the Commonwealth Games after converting to metric at the 1970 Edinburgh Games. A 440 yard event was contested between 1930 and 1966. 48 competitors from 26 nations entered the event. The 1999 world indoor champion Jamie Baulch withdrew from the event as he had failed to recover from a hamstring injury. His Welsh team mate and defending champion Iwan Thomas also chose not to contest the event.{{cite web|first=Matthew|last=Brown|title=A Shaw thing – Commonwealth Games Day 1|url=https://worldathletics.org/news/news/a-shaw-thing-commonwealth-games-day-1|publisher=IAAF|date=26 July 2002|access-date=19 January 2025|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250113055028/https://worldathletics.org/news/news/a-shaw-thing-commonwealth-games-day-1|archive-date=13 January 2025}}{{cite news|title=Injured Baulch is relay doubt|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/commonwealthgames2002/hi/athletics/newsid_2151000/2151889.stm|work=BBC Sport|date=26 July 2002|access-date=19 January 2025|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040730122536/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/commonwealthgames2002/hi/athletics/newsid_2151000/2151889.stm|archive-date=30 July 2004}}{{cite news|first=Duncan|last=Mackay|title=Thomas joins one-lap crocks|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2002/jul/25/commonwealthgames2002.commonwealthgames3|newspaper=The Guardian|date=26 June 2002|access-date=19 January 2025|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140909172225/http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2002/jul/25/commonwealthgames2002.commonwealthgames3|archive-date=9 September 2014}} However, both men were part of the quartet who won silver the 4 × 400 metres relay held later in the meet.{{cite news|title=England complete relay double|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/commonwealthgames2002/hi/athletics/newsid_2164000/2164970.stm|work=BBC Sport|date=31 July 2002|access-date=19 January 2025|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114183026/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/commonwealthgames2002/hi/athletics/newsid_2164000/2164970.stm|archive-date=14 January 2025}} Mark Richardson, the silver medallist from Kuala Lumpur, withdrew from the Games in June due to an achilles injury.{{cite news|first=Duncan|last=Mackay|title=Blighted runner pulls out of games|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2002/jun/12/athletics.duncanmackay|newspaper=The Guardian|date=12 June 2002|access-date=19 January 2025|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140909153819/http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2002/jun/12/athletics.duncanmackay|archive-date=9 September 2014}} Sri Lankan Sugath Thilakaratne, who won the bronze four year prior, narrowly missed reaching the final, finishing sixth in the second semi final.
