2020 National Games of India

Teams are expected from all 28 states and eight union territories of India as well as a team representing Indian Armed Forces. The new union territories of Ladakh and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu are expected to make their National Games debut at these games. Under the terms of an agreement signed in January 2020, the Bodoland Territorial Region was given the right to participate in national level sports events and it is therefore possible that a team representing Bodoland may also participate in these games.
