After the Diamond League Final, track & field keeps on going ...
For some track & field athletes their biggest event of 2023 is yet to come:
29 Sep - 5 Oct Asian Games (Hangzhou, CHN)
30 Oct - 4 Nov Pan American Games (Santiago, CHI)
27 Nov - 1 Dec Pacific Games (Solomon Islands)
There's also plenty of good meetings happening in Japan. For example:
22 - 24 Sep Japanese Corporate Championships (Gifu)
23 - 24 Sep Nippon Sports Science University (NSSU) Long Distance Meeting a.k.a. Nittai University Time Trials (Yokohama)
24 Sep Senko Challenge #2 (Kusatsu) - Women's mid & long-distance meeting
30 Sep - 1 Oct Athletics Challenge Cup (Niigata) - Japan GP Series; WA Continental Tour Bronze meeting
13 - 17 Oct National Sports Festival (Kagoshima)
20 - 22 Oct Japanese U18 & U16 Championships (Ehime)
20 - 21 Oct TWOLAPS Middle Distance Circuit in Tokyo - Final (Tokyo) - Japan GP series
11 - 12 Nov NSSU Long Distance Meeting a.k.a. Nittai University Time Trials (Yokohama)

India goes long too:
11 - 14 Oct Indian National Open Championships (Jamshedpur)
29 - 31 Oct Indian Open U23 Championships (Chandigarh)
4 - 7 Nov Indian National Junior Championships (Chennai)
And in South America ...
There's still 6 Continental Tour Challenger meetings to take place in Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Paraguay.
Live streaming:
Streaming of South American meetings is historically patchy (unless they're in Brazil). However, for the other events above, most of them will be live streamed except for the 5 NSSU Long Distance meetings which usually have some (but not all) on-demand race videos available.
