South Korea will participate with 792 athletes and 260 officials. KBS broadcast schedules for individual events should be checked again in the latest official programming guide.\n\nAs of September 9, 2026\n\n## Key Event Information\n\nThe 20th Asian Summer Games will run for 16 days. The opening ceremony is on September 19, and the closing ceremony is on October 4. The official competition schedule provides dates and venues for 43 sports.\n\n| Item | Official Announcement |\n|---|---|\n| Event | 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Summer Games |\n| Event period | September 19–October 4, 2026 |\n| Host area | Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya, Japan |\n| Opening ceremony | September 19, 2026 |\n| Closing ceremony | October 4, 2026 |\n| Sports | 43 sports |\n| South Korean delegation | 792 athletes and 260 officials |\n| Total South Korean delegation | 1,052 people |\n| Broadcast plan | KBS exclusive broadcast plan |\n\nThe total delegation size is the sum of the two publicly announced figures. Adding 792 athletes and 260 officials gives 1,052 people. Therefore, “approximately 1,050 people” is a simplified expression of the delegation’s size.\n\n## Pre-Games Overview Without Results\n\nAs of September 9, the Games have not yet begun. There are no confirmed competition results or medal standings yet. The information currently available includes the delegation roster, schedules by sport, and the broadcast plan.\n\nThe Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee held a delegation launch ceremony on September 3. The South Korean delegation roster was also released that day. The roster serves as the basis for determining the total number of people being sent to the Games.\n\nParticipation in individual events may differ from the full delegation roster. The entry list for a specific date should be checked on the Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee’s competition schedule. For accuracy, opponents and venues should be cross-checked against the organizing committee’s schedule for each sport.\n\n## South Korean Delegation Size and Roster\n\nThe South Korean delegation consists of 792 athletes and 260 officials. The calculated total is 1,052 people. The delegation roster is available in the Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee’s September 3 announcement.\n\n| Category | Number | Verification Basis |\n|---|---:|---|\n| Athletes | 792 | Roster released by the Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee |\n| Officials | 260 | Roster released by the Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee |\n| Total | 1,052 | Sum of the two publicly announced figures |\n\nBadminton, swimming, and table tennis athletes are among those to check in the main delegation’s departure schedule. However, the departure schedule and competition start dates are not the same information. If travel plans for a sport change, announcements from the Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee and the relevant sports federation take priority.\n\n## How to Check the Schedule for 43 Sports\n\nThe most efficient way to review the full schedule is to first narrow it down by sport and date on the organizing committee’s competition schedule. Then cross-check South Korean athletes’ events on the Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee’s schedule. Failing to distinguish preliminaries from finals can lead to misreading viewing times.\n\n1. Select the relevant sport on the organizing committee’s official website.\n2. Check the competition date, venue, and whether the session is a preliminary or final.\n3. Find events involving South Korean athletes on the Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee’s monthly schedule.\n4. Cross-check that the opponent and start time match on both schedules.\n5. Check again for schedule changes and KBS programming on the day of the event.\n\nThe Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee schedule URL directly displays the September 2026 calendar. October events should also be checked on the organizing committee’s full schedule. Saving only one schedule may cause you to miss events held during the closing week.\n\n## How to Read Event Times in South Korea and Japan\n\nSouth Korea and Japan both use the UTC+9 time zone. Even when official event times are listed in local Japanese time, no separate conversion is needed in South Korea. An event at 8:00 p.m. will also be at 8:00 p.m. on the same day in South Korea.\n\n| Schedule Listing | Viewing Time in South Korea |\n|---|---|\n| 8:00 p.m. on September 19 in Japan | 8:00 p.m. on September 19 in South Korea |\n| 7:00 p.m. on October 4 in Japan | 7:00 p.m. on October 4 in South Korea |\n\nThis reduces date confusion commonly encountered with international sports schedules. However, competition delays and programming changes are separate from time-zone issues. The official schedule on the day takes priority over any previously saved version.\n\n## Comparison of Ways to Watch KBS Coverage\n\nThe KBS broadcast plan document presents its plan for exclusive coverage of the Games. The overall broadcasting rights plan should be distinguished from programming for individual events. Actual broadcast channels and online availability should be checked in the programming guide for each event.\n\n| Source | Information to Check | When to Use |\n|---|---|---|\n| Organizing committee’s official website | Competition date, start time, and venue | When exploring the full schedule |\n| Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee competition schedule | Schedule focused on South Korean athletes | When selecting South Korean events |\n| KBS broadcast plan PDF | Games broadcasting operations plan | When identifying the scope of coverage |\n| Latest KBS programming guide | Channel and broadcast time for each event | The day before and the day of the event |\n\nIt is safer to check online viewing URLs after detailed programming has been announced. The broadcast plan PDF alone cannot confirm that every event will be available live. Broadcast times may also change depending on competition operations.\n\n## What to Watch For\n\nThe first point to watch is the overlap among the schedules for 43 sports. Multiple events involving South Korea may take place at the same time. In that case, the organizing committee’s schedule and KBS programming should be compared together.\n\nThe second is the distinction between preliminaries and finals. The same sport may be divided across multiple dates and sessions. Do not mistake a scheduled time for the final based only on the name of the sport.\n\nThe third is the difference between the delegation roster and the entry list for the day. The September 3 roster shows the total size of the delegation. Participants in a specific event should be checked against the latest competition schedule.\n\nThe fourth is the travel and competition schedules for badminton, swimming, and table tennis. These sports were mentioned in connection with the main delegation’s departure schedule. The time of the first event should not be inferred from the departure date alone.\n\n## Common Mistakes When Reading the Competition Schedule\n\nThe overall Games period is sometimes treated as identical to the competition period for each sport. Not every sport begins on September 19 and ends on October 4. The first and last events for each sport should be checked separately on the official competition schedule.\n\n- Do not interpret the delegation roster as the starting lineup for the day.\n- Do not treat the departure date as the first competition date for that sport.\n- Do not save the preliminary start time as the final time.\n- Do not check only the September calendar and omit October events.\n- Do not interpret the broadcast plan as a guarantee that every event will be shown live.\n\nThere is no time difference between South Korea and Japan. There is no need to add or subtract an hour. However, the date and a.m./p.m. notation on the schedule should still be checked as shown.\n\n## Criteria for Tracking Schedule Changes\n\nThe latest information displayed on the official website takes priority over a saved competition schedule. Multi-sport event schedules may be updated based on matchups and competition operations. Recording the time when information was checked makes it easier to distinguish between different versions.\n\n| Information to Check | Primary Source |\n|---|---|\n| All competition dates and venues | Organizing committee’s official website |\n| Schedule for South Korean athletes | Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee competition schedule |\n| South Korean delegation roster | Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee’s September 3 announcement |\n| TV and online broadcast times | Latest KBS programming information |\n\nThe three sources should be cross-checked again immediately before an event. First confirm the official event time and whether South Korean athletes are participating. Finally, find the actual viewing option in the KBS programming guide.\n\n## Official Primary Sources\n\nThe event period and sports information are available on the official website of the Aichi-Nagoya organizing committee. The Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee’s September 3 announcement is the reference for the size and roster of the South Korean delegation. South Korean competition schedules can be viewed through the Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee’s national team competition schedule.\n\nKBS’s overall broadcasting approach is described in the broadcast plan PDF. For channels and online programming for individual events, the latest KBS programming information takes priority. The detailed wording of official documents should be checked directly in each original source.\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n### When will the Games be held?\n\nThe Games will run from September 19 to October 4, 2026. The opening ceremony is on September 19, and the closing ceremony is on October 4.\n\n### How many people are in the South Korean delegation?\n\nThere are 792 athletes and 260 officials. The total of the two figures is 1,052 people.\n\n### Can I check only events involving South Korean athletes?\n\nEvents can be checked with a focus on South Korean athletes through the Korean Sport \u0026 Olympic Committee’s competition schedule. Opponents and venues should be cross-checked against the organizing committee’s schedule.\n\n### Do Japanese event times need to be converted to South Korean time?\n\nNo separate conversion is necessary. South Korea and Japan both use the UTC+9 time zone.\n\n### Will KBS broadcast every event live?\n\nThe exclusive broadcast plan alone cannot confirm that every event will be broadcast live. TV and online programming for each event should be checked in the latest KBS announcement.\n\n### Is the delegation roster the same as the entry list for the day?\n\nThe two documents serve different purposes. The delegation roster covers everyone being sent to the Games, while the actual entry list should be checked on the competition schedule.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games will be held across Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya, Japan, from September 19 to October 4.
