For the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, which redrew the constituency map ahead of the 2024 United Kingdom general election, the Boundary Commission for England proposed that Greater Manchester be considered as a sub-region of the North West Region, retaining a total of 27 constituencies. However, there were significant changes made to realign boundaries to revised ward boundaries and ensure electorates were within the statutory range. Denton and Reddish was abolished and broken up and Manchester Rusholme re-established, resulting in major re-configurations of the Manchester Central and Manchester Gorton constituencies, with the latter being renamed Gorton and Denton. Other boundary changes resulted in name changes as follows:

In addition, although unchanged, Oldham West and Royton was renamed Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton.
