Birmingham 2022, which is expected to take place from July 27 to August 7 2022, marks 20 years since Manchester 2002, the last time the Games were held in England.
CGF President Louise Martin CBE said: "We warmly congratulate Birmingham and England on today's announcement -- it is a defining moment for this truly Commonwealth city.
"With its rich history, cultural diversity, youthful dynamism and ambitious spirit, Birmingham embodies all that we cherish about the Commonwealth, and so the Commonwealth Sports Movement looks forward to collaborating with all the Games partners to showcase the city's humanity and pride to a global audience over the coming months and years.
"The vast majority of the Games venues are in place, and with extensive experience in the UK of hosting successful major events -- including Manchester 2002, London 2012 and Glasgow 2014 -- the CGF looks forward to a truly spectacular Games that delivers not only for the 2.4 billion citizens across the Commonwealth but the wider world, too.
"Today is a fantastic day for Birmingham, global Britain and our resurgent Commonwealth Sports Movement."
The CGF President also thanked Canada, Malaysia and Australia for the continued interest expressed in hosting a future Commonwealth Games, and confirmed that the Commonwealth Games Associations (CGAs) in these countries have signalled their potential hosting interest in either 2026 or 2030.
