The North East Games formerly known as North East Olympic Games (NEOG) are a Multi-sport event held in Northeast India. The eight states of the region compete in each edition.
Manipur became the champion in the three consecutive years of the 2018, 2022 and 2024 Northeast Games.
Manipur has won the most medals in the first two editions. In third edition, Assam won most medals and Manipur was declared overall champion as they bagged most gold medals.
History Initially this tournament was named as North East Olympic Games after the governing body, North East Olympic Association, but in 2024, the Indian Olympic Association directed the North East Olympic Committee to remove the "Olympic" tag from its name as that was a registered trademark under the Olympic Charter.
In May 2025, it was announced that Khelo India will develop an annual North-East Games competition under its brand.
