38th Australian Sikh Games – Melbourne 2026

The Australian Sikh Games are the premier sporting and cultural event for the Australian Sikh community. The Games are held every year in capital cities and major regional areas around Australia. Athletes and spectators from all over the country and overseas, including New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canada and the U.K. come to participate in a wide array of traditional Indian and Australian sports and cultural events.
The Games draw crowds of over 100,000 people over three days during which 8,000+ athletes and performers compete in 15 different sports and cultural activities. Approximately 120 not-for-profit sporting and cultural clubs actively take part. The Games are made possible by hundreds of dedicated volunteers who contribute their time and expertise, combined with government support, business sponsorships and community fundraising.
