On August 26, 2026, the Thai Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT), and the National Sports Development Fund announced a collaborative effort to broadcast the 20th Asian Games and the 5th Asian Para Games, hosted in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan.

According to Khaosod Online, the initiative aims to provide comprehensive coverage for viewers across Thailand. The 20th Asian Games are scheduled to take place from September 10 to October 4, 2026.

The participating channels include NBT, T Sports 7, 9 MCOT HD, ONE 31, MONOMAX SPORTS TV, Thairath TV 32, and PPTV HD 36.

For residents and travelers in Thailand, this partnership ensures that major sporting events will be widely available on both traditional television and digital platforms. This accessibility allows fans to follow the progress of the Thai national team throughout the competition. While the broadcast schedule and platform availability have been confirmed, viewers should monitor local listings for specific event timings and potential regional restrictions. Further details regarding the specific programming schedule for the Asian Para Games are expected to be released closer to the event dates.
