The 2026 Asian Games (Japanese: 2026年アジア競技大会, romanized: 2026-nen Ajia kyōgi taikai, lit. '2026 Asian Sports Competition'), also known as 20th Asian Games (Japanese: 第20回アジア競技大会, romanized: Dai-20-kai Ajia kyōgi taikai, lit. '20th Asian Sports Competition') and Aichi-Nagoya 2026 (Japanese: 愛知/名古屋2026), will be a multi-sport event celebrated around the Aichi Prefecture in Japan from 19 September to 4 October 2026. The prefecture capital Nagoya will be the epicenter of the events.[2] Nagoya will be the third Japanese city to host the Asian Games, after Tokyo in 1958 and Hiroshima in 1994. The event is set to return to its traditional 4-year cycle, after the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China were postponed to 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
