India aims to surpass its record 107-medal haul from the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games 2026, held from September 19 to October 4 in Japan. The contingent includes five individual Olympic medallists and defending champions in cricket and other sports. Hockey competitions will serve as qualifiers for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
