In 2007, the Chunichi Dragons won the [[Japan Series]] baseball championship. In 2010, Nagoya Grampus won the J. League championship, their first in team history. Nagoya is also the home of the Nagoya Barbarians semi-pro [[rugby football]] club.

A ''[[honbasho]]'' [[sumo]] tournament is held every July at the [[Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium]]. The city has hosted [[The Crowns]] golf tournament since 1960 and the women's [[Nagoya Marathon]] since 1984.

In September 2016 the city was awarded the right to host the 2026 [[Asian Games]] after it was the only city to lodge a bid. It will be the third time Japan hosts the event after Tokyo in 1958 and [[Hiroshima]] in 1994.<ref>{{cite web |date=25 September 2016 |title=Games-Nagoya, Aichi prefecture to host 2026 Asian Games |url=http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201609250031.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160927112411/http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201609250031.html |archive-date=27 September 2016 |access-date=28 September 2016 |work=Asahi Shimbun}}</ref> 

The city had a bid to host the [[1988 Summer Olympics]] but lost to [[Seoul]].

The city hosted the official [[1979 Asian Basketball Championship]]. Later, it became one of the host cities of the official [[Women's Volleyball World Championship]] for its [[1998 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship|1998]], [[2006 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship|2006]] and [[2010 FIVB Volleyball Women's World Championship|2010]] editions.

The [[2026 Aichi-Nagoya Games]] will be the next big event in the sports world following the [[2020 Tokyo Olympic]] and [[Paralympic Games]]. It will be a very meaningful event for all of [[Japan]], as it would bring a chance to further deepen ties within [[Asia]].<ref>https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/en/tournament/overview/</ref> In order to bid for the [[Asian Games]], [[Aichi Prefecture]] and [[Nagoya City]] made a 20th Asian Games Proposal.<ref>https://www.aichi-nagoya2026.org/en/assets/file/tournament/overview2.pdf</ref>
