The multi-sport event was originally scheduled to take place last year but was ultimately postponed due to the lingering presence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, over 12,400 athletes from all 45 Asian nations are expected to compete across 40 sports and 61 disciplines in Hangzhou, the third Chinese city to host the Games after Beijing in 1990 and Guangzhou in 2010.

SBS will provide Australian audiences with exclusive free-to-air coverage of several high-profile sports, with both SBS VICELAND and SBS On Demand delivering live action, full replays, and highlights to enjoy.
