Palembang, the capital city of South Sumatra will be the main host of the games by holding a total of 296 events,[9][10] while the nation's capital Jakarta will be the supporting co-host by staging 266 events.[11][12] As the main host, Palembang will only hold 21 of 44 sports, the rest will be held by a co-host city. Palembang will host the opening and closing ceremonies.[13]

Initially, the government had named four provinces as candidates to host the SEA Games 2011, namely Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, and South Sumatra. However this idea has been discarded and host only granted for two provinces. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has suggested two provinces would be enough for Indonesia to host the 26th SEA Games, to reduce operational costs and make the games easier to organize.[14]

The 2011 ASEAN ParaGames will be hosted in Surakarta, Central Java.
