## List Container instances with \`wrangler containers instances\`

Mar 12, 2026 

[ Containers ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/containers/) 

A new [wrangler containers instances](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/commands/containers/#containers-instances) command lists all instances for a given Container application. This mirrors the instances view in the Cloudflare dashboard.

The command displays each instance's ID, name, state, location, version, and creation time:

Terminal window

```
wrangler containers instances <APPLICATION_ID>
```

Use the `--json` flag for machine-readable output, which is also the default format in non-interactive environments such as CI pipelines.

For the full list of options, refer to the [containers instances command reference](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/commands/containers/#containers-instances).
