For India, the Games mark another significant moment for one of the world’s leading emerging esports markets. Global gaming platform Parimatch is closely following the tournament, offering fans an interactive way to track the schedule and results throughout the competition.
India is the world’s second-largest mobile gaming market, with mobile titles accounting for more than 90% of esports engagement. This mobile-first audience is contributing to the expansion of the country’s esports ecosystem, which is gaining ground internationally. India is also producing competitive teams preparing to take on some of the region’s strongest opponents.
The country’s 15-member esports contingent will compete across four titles at Aichi-Nagoya: League of Legends, Pokémon UNITE, eFootball and Puyo Puyo Champions. The lineup features two team events and two individual competitions, providing India with multiple opportunities to challenge Asia’s established esports nations.
Akshaj Shenoy and Adnan Mohammed Badshah will lead India’s League of Legends and Pokémon UNITE squads, respectively. The contingent also brings Asian Games experience into the competition, following India’s fifth-place finish in League of Legends at Hangzhou 2023.
The tournament will test India’s teams against established contenders from across Asia, with every fixture presenting another challenge for a country seeking to strengthen its competitive presence in the region. The return of esports to the Asian Games medal programme provides the Indian contingent with another opportunity to compete on a major international stage.
Fans following the competition can use Parimatch’s dedicated Asian Games platform to check the esports schedule, follow live match results and support their favourite players throughout the Games. With 11 events scheduled across the tournament, the competition will bring together regional contenders while keeping India’s expanding esports ambitions in focus.
