Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou packed a huge sports program into just over two weeks, with more than 40 sports and thousands of athletes from across Asia. If you missed parts of it or want a quick refresher, this page gives you the key dates, the biggest moments, and the easiest ways to follow results and streams.
The Games ran from 23 September to 8 October 2023 in Hangzhou, China. They were delayed from 2022 but delivered full stadiums, surprise winners, and new events that drew wide attention. China, Japan and South Korea fought hard for the top spots, while smaller teams grabbed memorable medals in sports like shooting, weightlifting and martial arts.
Looking for the essentials? Here they are: the biggest competitions to watch were athletics, swimming, gymnastics, and team sports like football and basketball. Newer or region-specific sports — sepak takraw and wushu, for example — also produced standout performances that fans loved. If you only have time for highlights, focus on the final days: many finals, record attempts, and medal-deciding matches happen then.
Want names and numbers? For up-to-date medal tables, event results, and athlete bios check the official Asian Games website or the Olympic Council of Asia pages. They kept live results, heat sheets, and downloadable PDFs for every sport.
Can you still watch the action? Yes. Broadcasters and streaming platforms kept archived footage, highlight reels, and full replays. Check these places first: the official Asian Games YouTube channel for highlights, national sports broadcasters in your country for replays, and the Olympic Council of Asia site for results. Social channels (Twitter/X, Instagram) often post clips of big moments within minutes.
If you live in Africa or elsewhere, local coverage varies. Look up your national broadcaster’s sports page or streaming app — many licensed highlights and replays after the live window. You can also follow athletes’ personal accounts for behind-the-scenes clips and interviews.
For fans who want depth: use the event schedule PDFs to track heat times, qualification rules, and medal sessions. That saves time compared with scrolling through full-day schedules. Bookmark the medal table and refresh it after finals — it’s the fastest way to spot surprises.
Got a favourite sport? Set alerts on the official app or follow specific event hashtags. That way you won’t miss upset wins or record attempts. And if you want a short recap after the Games, look for roundup videos titled “Top 10 moments” or “Best performances” — they pack the highlights into 5–10 minutes.
If you’re here for betting or fantasy picks, focus on recent form, head-to-heads, and injury news before placing stakes. Events that have heats plus finals (athletics, swimming) often let you predict finals better after seeing qualification times.
