We’re thrilled to announce that the 2026 Pennsylvania Senior Games will take place in State College, PA—home of Penn State University—from July 24 through August 2, 2026!
 
This exciting edition of the Games will serve as the official qualifying event for the 2027 National Senior Games, offering athletes the opportunity to compete at one of the nation’s most iconic college campuses. More details, including sport-specific venues, housing, and registration information, will be shared in fall 2025.
✅ Eligibility
  • The 2026 Pennsylvania Senior Games are open to athletes from all states.
  • Athletes must be 50 years of age or older as of December 31, 2026 to participate.
  • NSGA Qualifying Age Groups:
    50–54, 55–59, 60–64, 65–69, 70–74, 75–79, 80–84, 85–89, 90–94, 95–99, and 100+ (separate divisions for males and females).
  • All non-qualifying sports will use 10-year age brackets.
 
Open State Policy:

Out-of-state residents are welcome to compete in the 2026 PA Senior Games. If an out-of-state athlete qualifies for the National Senior Games, they will not take away a qualifying spot from a Pennsylvania resident. For team sports (e.g., Basketball, Softball, Volleyball), a team comprised of athletes from different states will be considered an out-of-state team. NSGA out-of-state qualification rules will apply.
In the event that an out-of-state team qualifies for NSGA competition, they will not displace a qualifying spot for a Pennsylvania-based team unless the PA team declines to use the position.

🏆 Dual Opportunity with the 2026 State Games of America
The 2026 PA Senior Games will run concurrently with the 2026 State Games of America (SGA)—a prestigious national multi-sport festival featuring athletes of all ages from across the United States, also hosted at Penn State and throughout State College.
Senior athletes registered for the PA Senior Games may also choose to compete in SGA events (based on sport offerings and eligibility), but must register separately for the State Games of America if they wish to participate in both events.
