The XVII Asian Games were held in Incheon, South Korea from 19 September to 4 October 2014. It was the third time that South Korea played host to the Asian Games, first being the 1986 Asiad in Seoul, considered as a test event in the lead-up to the 1988 Olympics, and the second was held in Busan in 2002.

Around 9,501 athletes participated; and 439 events in 36 sports, including all 28 Olympic sports that would be contested at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, and eight non-Olympic sports such as tenpin bowling, cricket, kabaddi, sepak takraw, squash, wushu, as well as baseball and karate (which would later be featured at the rescheduled Tokyo Olympics in 2021), were featured in the Incheon Asiad.

The changes in the non-Olympic sports featured at the Asian Games were influenced by discussions with organisers, who had suggested the removal of cricket from the program because they felt too few Asian countries played it and because they lacked the infrastructure to host it. However, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) disputed the proposed removal of cricket, citing the sport's popularity and viewer interest.

Sukan Asia Ke-17 telah diadakan di Incheon, Korea Selatan dari 19 September hingga 4 Oktober 2014. Ia merupakan kali ketiga Korea Selatan menjadi tuan rumah Sukan Asia. Temasya pertama negara itu diadakan pada tahun 1986 di Seoul merupakan acara ujian sebelum temasya Sukan Olimpik 1988, manakala temasya kedua telah diadakan di Busan pada tahun 2002.

Sekitar 9,501 atlet bertanding; 439 acara dalam 36 sukan termasuk kesemua 28 Sukan Olimpik yang bakal dipertandingkan pada temasya sukan Olimpik 2016 di Rio de Janeiro, dan lapan sukan bukan Olimpik seperti boling sepuluh pin, kriket, kabaddi, sepak takraw, skuasy, wushu, dan juga besbol dan karate (yang membuat penampilan pada temasya Sukan Olimpik Tokyo yang dijadualkan semula ke tahun 2021), membuat penampilan pada temasya Sukan Asia itu.

Perubahan pada Sukan bukan Olimpik pada temasya Sukan Asia itu telah dipengaruhi oleh perbincangan Majlis Olimpik Asia (OCA) dengan pihak penganjur, yang mencadangkan agar kriket disingkirkan daripada program sukan itu kerana merasakan bahawa tidak banyak negara Asia yang menyertai acara sukan itu serta kekurangan infrastruktur untuk menganjurkannya. Bagaimanapun, badan pentadbir induk Sukan Asia itu mempertikaikan cadangan penyingkiran kriket itu, atas sebab populariti acara sukan itu serta minat tinggi dalam kalangan penontonnya.
