Asian Games 2026 Highlights & Replays: Where to Watch by Country

The Asian Games 2026 are over. The 20th Asian Games in Aichi–Nagoya, Japan, ran from the first basketball tip-off on 10 September to the Closing Ceremony on 4 October 2026. There is no more live action — but there is still plenty to watch. This guide now shows where to find highlights, full-event replays and the big moments in each country, and what to watch next.

China topped the final medal table with 169 gold and 341 medals, ahead of hosts Japan and South Korea. See the final medal tally.

Where to Watch Asian Games 2026 Highlights and Replays, by Country

As during the Games, rights were sold market by market, so replays and highlights sit with the same broadcaster that carried the live coverage in your country. How long full replays stay available depends on each broadcaster, so the sooner you watch, the better.

India, Nepal and the subcontinent

USA, UK, Canada, Australia and Malaysia

We were unable to confirm a dedicated rights-holder for these markets in our coverage. Viewers there can follow the official Aichi-Nagoya 2026 YouTube and Instagram channels for free clips and highlights. Avoid unofficial “full replay” uploads — they are often unreliable and breach copyright.
