About the Games
The 20th Asian Games will be held in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, with Nagoya as the host city — placing it at the center of the entire continent’s attention. This marks the third time Japan has hosted the Asian Games, following Tokyo in 1958 and Hiroshima in 1994, a gap of 32 years. Venues span Aichi’s cities and extend to Tokyo, Shizuoka, Gifu, and Osaka, giving the event a scale comparable to the Olympics.

How to Buy Tickets: Step by Step
All tickets are sold exclusively through the official online ticketing platform on a first-come, first-served basis — no lottery system. Here’s the complete process:
Register for a Supporter ID
Head to presale.tickets-aichi-nagoya2026.org and sign up with your email address — it’s free. Your Supporter ID is the only way to purchase tickets, so register well in advance. Don’t wait until sales open.
Review the Schedule and Ticket Types
Download the English Ticketing Guide PDF from the official website. It covers every sport’s schedule, venue, seating categories (Zone A through C), and pricing. Tickets for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and high-demand sports like swimming and basketball are limited — plan ahead.
Buy as Soon as Sales Open
Pre-sales run on a first-come, first-served basis with no regional priority. Each account may purchase up to 12 tickets per transaction (maximum 6 for the Ceremonies). Have your credit card or PayPal details ready before the sale window opens.
Receive Your Digital Ticket
Tickets are issued digitally. Simply show your phone screen at the venue entrance. Wheelchair spaces and tickets for visitors with disabilities are also available through the official website and require a separate application process.
The official ticketing system is operated by Pia (ぴあ) and accepts major international credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and JCB, as well as select digital payment options. Use a card with international online transaction capability, and make sure any overseas purchase restrictions are disabled before you try to buy.
Ticket Types & Pricing
Prices vary considerably depending on the sport and seating zone. The following is a summary of key ticket categories based on official announcements. Always check the official Ticketing Guide for exact figures.
🎟 Ticket Category Overview
