Esports at the 2026 Asian Games will be held at Aichi Sky Expo in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, Japan from 23 September to 2 October 2026.

On 8 July 2023, the Olympic Council of Asia officially added esports to the 2026 Asian Games calendar with the Japan Esports Union and the Asian Electronic Sports Federation as co-organizers.

In November 2024, the OCA was planning to remove esports from the Asian Games with plans to create a separate competition for non-traditional sports including chess and card games.

On 6 February 2025, the OCA's executive board approved 11 video game titles for the esports tournament, and finalised on 22 February 2025 with an updated line-up, which included 13 video game titles in 11 events.
