The Asian Para Games 2026 schedule for October 17 features Indian athletes in para badminton, para table tennis and boccia, with several group-stage fixtures scheduled throughout the day. The competitions are taking place in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, ahead of the Games' official opening ceremony on October 18.
Among the Indian athletes to watch are para-badminton stars Pramod Bhagat, Manisha Ramadass, Krishna Nagar and Manasi Joshi. India's para-table tennis contingent also faces a busy programme, while Sachin Chamaria and Anjali Devi are the country's two boccia entries, according to the supplied schedule.
The distinction between the competition calendar and the opening ceremony is important: some sports begin before the formal opening. The official Aichi-Nagoya 2026 website confirms that the overall Games run from October 18 to 24, while the competition calendar includes events scheduled before the ceremony.

Key Athletes, Match Timings and Schedule Updates
Pramod Bhagat, Manisha Ramadass, Krishna Nagar and Manasi Joshi are among the prominent Indian names featured in the supplied para-badminton schedule. Their singles and doubles fixtures give fans multiple opportunities to follow India's campaign from the early morning sessions.
Para table tennis also has a packed programme, with Indian players scheduled to face opponents from China, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Kazakhstan. In boccia, the listed fixtures include India's men's individual BC3 match against the UAE at 8:10 AM and the women's individual BC3 match against Japan at 2:15 PM.
The schedule also mentions India's blind football team facing hosts Japan in a group-stage match, but the supplied fixture list does not provide a match time. Confirm the timing against the official competition programme before publication.
Important schedule verification: The supplied fixture list contains a possible classification or naming inconsistency in the 7:05 AM entry for T. Murugesan, which labels the match as women's singles SU5. Confirm this detail, along with athlete spellings and pairings, before publishing the schedule as fully verified. The organising committee published a competition-programme revision on October 2, 2026, so the latest official documents should take precedence over older listings.
