Then there's Sri Lankan world No1 javelin thrower Pathirage, who must contend with his spears being damaged in transit.The viral South Korean shooter Kim Ye-ji, sadly, is not competing, while tennis star Qinwen Zheng has opted to play in the China Open instead, leaving Eala as the biggest name in the draw.Along with many of the events you'd expect to see, there's also eSports, kabaddi and the incomparable sepak takraw on the Asian Games program.Here's how to watch Asian Games 2026 from anywhere in the world.
