A new-look website has today been launched ahead of the 2026 Pan Pacific Masters Games (PPMG) to be held on the Gold Coast from 6-15 November 2026.

With just over one year to go until the 2026 PPMG, planning for the 10-day multi-sport extravaganza is well underway, with the event again set to host a bumper program featuring over 40 sports.

Participating sports have been celebrated in the new-look website launched today, with additional sports set to be confirmed in the coming months via – www.mastersgames.com.au

Entries will officially open on Tuesday, March 3, 2026

Last year’s Pan Pacific Masters Games on the Gold Coast attracted record economic impact levels, with organisers Events Management Queensland (EMQ) aiming to build on that result in 2026.

The 2024 event saw more than 15,000 participants from all over the world take to the court, the pool, the fields, arena or the ocean – injecting a record $28.9 million into the Queensland economy, an increase of over $6.5 million on the 2022 event.

Events Management Queensland CEO Ben Mannion said the event’s tagline “where legends come to play” epitomised the energy that the PPMG has become renowned for.

“There is an energy to this competition like I have never felt before and we’re looking forward to seeing the city come to life with proud Masters competitors from all over the world,” said Mannion.

“The passion and sportsmanship of the competitors creates a unique atmosphere and makes it a must-do event every two years.

“Masters sport brings a camaraderie and an aura of its own to the sporting arena – its where people connect with likeminded souls and where they either play the sport that’s been a part of their lives for years or figure life’s too short and give one or more new sports a go.

“We are looking forward to welcoming back our Masters competitors to the Gold Coast in 2026.”

Events Management Queensland proudly delivers the biennial Pan Pacific Masters Games as well as the ASICS Gold Coast Marathon, the Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport Running Festival and the Gold Coast T100 World Triathlon with the support of Experience Gold Coast and the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland.

Events Management Queensland acknowledges and pays respect to the Kombumerri people of the Yugambeh language region, the Saltwater People of the Gold Coast, as the traditional owners of the lands and waters upon which we invite and welcome participants from across the globe to experience our events.
