Khelo MP Youth Games Postponed Again, Set for January 2026
The Khelo MP Youth Games, a sports competition for young athletes in Madhya Pradesh, has been delayed for the third time.
The games, which were supposed to happen in 2024, will now take place in December 2025 and January 2026.
This is because sports associations already have tournaments planned and to avoid conflicting with the CBSE and MP Board exams.
The games will feature 27 sports, and the winners will represent Madhya Pradesh in national-level events in 2026.
This event is similar to the Khelo India Youth Games and is organized by the Madhya Pradesh government to encourage young athletes.
The second edition of the Khelo MP Youth Games has been postponed again.
The games will now take place in December 2025 and January 2026.
The first edition of the games took place in October 2023.
The postponement is due to existing junior tournaments and exam schedules.
