Before the opening ceremony on September 19, our athletes are already in the ring: teqball and women’s cricket start on September 17. Yes; early morning IST slots, some as early as 3:00 AM, await loyal fans. From wrestling and weightlifting to cricket and esports, India’s campaign spans 18 days across 25-plus disciplines. Track and field peaks from Sept 24–29; shooting starts Sept 20; men’s hockey fights for glory through Oct 3. Sony Sports TV and SonyLIV have you covered; but don’t forget your alarm. Key medal hopefuls? Mirabai Chanu, Rishikanta Singh, and the cricket teams (both men and women). The time zone difference means you’ll be watching history before breakfast. And if you think esports isn’t serious; think again. It’s on the official schedule, and India’s got teams ready to battle. This isn’t just about medals; it’s about waking up early to witness the grit of Indian athletes across time zones. Will you be there; even if it means hitting snooze just once less?
