With a record number of medals won at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, India's athletes will be hoping to continue their winning streak in 2023. The next year will be crucial for our athletes hoping to qualify for the Summer Games since qualifications for Paris 2024 Olympics are already in full swing.

The 2023 sporting calendar includes many significant quadrennial events in addition to the yearly tennis Grand Slams, Asian, and global championships for a variety of sports. The Asian Games, which were postponed from last year because to COVID-19, will now take place in Hangzhou, China, in September, while the forthcoming FIH Men's Hockey World Cup 2023 will take place in Odisha, India, in January.

Despite India's absence from the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 in New Zealand and Australia, Indian football fans will still have the World Cup to look forward to in July-August. However, the Indian men's football team has earned a spot in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, which will take place in China from June 16 to July 16. The continental championship, however, may be moved to late 2023 or early 2024 if Qatar is chosen as the site at the last minute in order to escape the hot summer months in the Gulf.

Badminton will be in the spotlight in 2023 thanks to India's historic Thomas Cup triumph in 2022, with supporters hoping to players like PV Sindhu, Lakshya Sen, HS Prannoy, and Kidambi Srikanth to bring home additional gold from prestigious tournaments across the world.

Indian track and field athletes did well in 2022 as well, and athletes like Neeraj Chopra, Avinash Sable, and Eldhose Paul are looking forward to an even better year in 2023.
