2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games Dates and TV Schedule

This content applies specifically to South Korea.
Planning to watch from South Korea on September 19, 2026? The opening ceremony is scheduled for September 19 and the closing ceremony for October 4, but some sports begin before the opening. Japan and South Korea both use UTC+9, so official local times can be read directly as Korea Standard Time.
The easy mistake is treating opening day as the first competition day or assuming broadcaster promotions guarantee live coverage. Sport-specific schedules and the day’s KBS and MBC listings still need to be checked.
Schedule facts that prevent missed events
The Games cover 16 days based on the ceremony dates, with venues spread across Aichi Prefecture rather than confined to Nagoya. Preliminary rounds, finals and even venues may change as participants and matchups are determined.
South Korea’s baseball team is listed in Group B alongside Taiwan. The published Group B schedule begins September 21, but that date must not automatically be treated as South Korea’s first game; confirm the game number, countries, time and venue together.
Esports also requires event-by-event checking. Inclusion of a title such as League of Legends does not confirm South Korea’s roster, matchup or session time. For television, distinguish live coverage from recordings and TV channels from digital-only streams.
A viewing example for the Aichi-Nagoya Games
Suppose an official listing shows September 21 at 7:00 p.m. A viewer in South Korea keeps that exact date and time rather than adding or subtracting an hour. This is only a time-zone example, not a confirmed event time; next confirm the participating teams, then check whether KBS, MBC or another listed service is carrying it live.
What the full guide helps verify
As of September 10, 2026, the original article on Injoys explains the recommended checking order, baseball caveats, time-zone rule and differences between TV and digital coverage. Its consolidated details help separate confirmed information from items that still depend on results or same-day programming.

Who should check first
This guidance applies most directly to viewers in South Korea because no Japan-to-Korea time conversion is required. Check first when following pre-opening sports, Group B baseball, esports sessions or finals that depend on preliminary results. Anyone planning venue travel should also verify the official address for each date because locations can vary within the same sport.
One useful step to take today
Open the organizing committee’s schedule for the chosen sport, identify the South Korean participant or matchup, and then compare it with the relevant broadcaster’s current schedule. Repeat the broadcast check immediately before the event because channels and live or recorded status may change.
Use the original article on Injoys as the compact checklist for completing those checks.
