The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games will cost £778m, the government has announced.
Three-quarters of the public funding for the 11-day event will come from central government, with £184m having to be found by Birmingham City Council.
The budget is above initial estimates of £750m, but lower than the £967m spent on the 2018 Gold Coast Games.
It will be the most expensive sports event in the UK since the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
“The Games will be the biggest sporting and cultural event ever held in the city,” said sports minister Mims Davies.
