After a promising 2025, when Indian sportspersons made their mark across several events on the global stage, 2026 brings a fresh set of challenges. At the top of the calendar is the 20th edition of the Asian Games, scheduled to be held in Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya, Japan, from September 19 to October 4, 2026.
India’s performance across Olympic sports in 2025 was a mixed bag. The country enjoyed notable success in archery, boxing, wrestling, shooting, weightlifting and hockey, while some disciplines fell short of expectations.
