Judo at the Asian Games is the highest-level multi-sport judo event in Asia, bringing national teams from across the continent together every four years on a single stage.
The 2026 edition runs from 30 September to 3 October in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. As host nation, Japan will field a full delegation. The competition follows the IJF weight-category system across seven men's and seven women's divisions. Hong Kong, China will also send a team to compete against the continent's strongest judoka.
For Hong Kong readers, the Asian Games judo competition remains a key barometer of the regional strength map — alongside traditional powerhouses such as Japan, Korea and China, Central Asian nations including Mongolia, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan have risen sharply in recent years. Full event details will be released by the All Japan Judo Federation in due course.
