3:30 PM IST: The Indian men's hockey team will take on Malaysia in the Asian Games 2026 final later today, with gold on the line. The match comes a day after the Indian women's team ended a 44-year wait for Asian Games gold, beating China 1-0 to win the title for the first time since 1982 and secure qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.

Can Harmanpreet Singh and Co follow the women's team and bring home another hockey gold for India?

India have enjoyed the edge over Malaysia in their recent meetings. Since 2015, the two sides have faced each other 26 times, with India winning nine matches compared to Malaysia's four, including one victory via a shootout.

That shootout triumph came in the semi-finals of the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games. The teams were level at 2-2 after regulation time, before India edged Malaysia 7-6 in the shootout.

Meetings between India and Malaysia have often produced plenty of goals, making their latest showdown another potentially high-scoring affair.

The India vs Malaysia men's hockey final at the Asian Games 2026 will be streamed live on Sony LIV. The match will be telecast live on Sony Sports 5 and Sony Sports 2, while regional-language coverage will be available on Sony Sports 3 and Sony Sports 3 HD in Hindi, and Sony Sports 4 in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.
