The Democratic People's Republic of Korea competed at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, from 23 September 2023 to 8 October 2023. Earlier the event was scheduled to held in September 2022[1] but due to COVID-19 pandemic cases rising in China the event was postponed and rescheduled to September–October 2023.[2] [3] The nation's football opener marked their return to international sport.[4]

North Korea was under sanctions by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) since 2021 due to its national anti-doping body's non-compliance with WADA standards. As a consequence, North Korea was barred from using it flags in international sports competitions except the Olympics and Paralympics but the Olympic Council of Asia allowed the country to use its flag in the Asian Games.[5]
