The 2024 National Games of Nepal, also known as the 10th National Games of Nepal or Karnali 2024, is an upcoming national multi-sport event scheduled to take place from to 2 to 15 December 2026 in Karnali Province, Nepal. Originally scheduled to take place from November 17 to 24 November 2024, the games have been repeatedly postponed since then.
The National Sports Council during its 115th board meeting alongside the 9th National Games had announced that the 10th National Games are scheduled to take place in Karnali Province from November 17 to 24, 2024.
The NSC during its 118th board meeting rescheduled the national games to be held from April 5 to 12, 2025.
Challenges for National Games Construction progress of the infrastructure has been uneven. Only, the Karnali province stadium is near completion which supports only around 15 sports, where other venues are being upgraded. Provincial officials also have noted delays in stadiums, district facilities, covered halls and grounds especially for cricket hockey and volleyball. Similarly, academic board exams schedule clash and shifting dates have caused uncertainty among athletes.
