OCA Expands Esports Program For 2026 Asian Games, Boosting India's Medal Hopes
Nagoya Asian Games: India's prospects for a stronger Esports presence at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games have received a boost, with the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) announcing an expanded lineup of 11 Esports titles for the event.
In a major development, the OCA Executive Board, during its meeting here approved the inclusion of Street Fighter 6, Pokemon Unite, Honor of Kings, League of Legends – Asian Games Version, PUBG – Asian Games Version, Mobile Legends – Bang Bang, Naraka: Bladepoint, Gran Turismo 7, eFootball Series, and Puyo Puyo Champions as medal events in the 2026 Games.
The expansion marks a step forward from the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, where esports made its debut as an official medal discipline with seven titles. At the time, India competed in only four of them—DOTA 2, FIFA Online 4, Street Fighter V, and League of Legends—while other titles were banned in the country.
