Advancing in the Games
The 2026 Indiana State Games is a qualification year for the National Senior Games that will be held June 30-July 11, 2027 in Tulsa, OK. To compete in the 2027 Nationals, you must qualifyin a State Games in 2026. If you are plan to play in a sport at Nationals in 2027 with a partner, you do NOT have to play with the partner you qualified with.
The next National Senior Games qualification will be at Indiana State Games in 2026. Qualification for those 50+ will be awarded to the top four (4) finishers in each age bracket for most individual sports. The top three (3) finishers in each age bracket for team sports. The top two (2) finishers in Golf by age & gender. Please note: an Indiana athlete cannot be displaced for a National qualification position. Example: If the top four finishes are from Ohio, Ohio will advance the top four athletes for that event, but the very next four Indiana athletes will also advance to the National Senior Games in 2027. Previous quailfication and participation does NOT qualify you for the 2027 National Senior Games. The 2029 National Senior Games dates will be held in Birmingham, Alabama.
