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.^[1] These games will be the 36th edition and will host 37 sporting disciplines.

Participating teams

Teams are expected from all 28 states and eight union territories of India as well as a team representing Indian Armed Forces.

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. ^[2]
