The 2020 '''[[National Games of India]]''', also known as '''Goa 2020''', were to be held between 20 October and 4 November 2020 in [[Goa]], India. In May 2020, it was announced that games will postponed as a result of the global [[COVID-19 pandemic]] and new dates have yet to be established.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.india.com/sports/36th-national-games-in-goa-postponed-indefinitely-due-to-coronavirus-pandemic-4042667/|title = 36th National Games in Goa Postponed Indefinitely Due to Coronavirus Pandemic|date = 29 May 2020}}</ref> These games will be the 36th edition and will host 37 sporting disciplines.

==Participating teams==
Teams are expected from all 28 [[States of India|states]] and eight [[union territories]] of India as well as a team representing [[Services Sports Control Board|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.
