The Merdeka Curriculum introduces a paradigm shift in Indonesian education, emphasizing student-centered learning, flexibility, and the integration of the Pancasila Student Profile. This study aims to analyze the implementation of physical education (PJOK) learning under the Merdeka Curriculum framework in elementary schools. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through observations, interviews with five PE teachers, and document analysis across three elementary schools. The results indicate that PJOK learning has successfully shifted toward differentiated instruction and joy at school, aligning with the teaching at the right level principle. However, challenges persist, particularly in authentic assessment development and infrastructure limitations. This study concludes that supporting teachers' professional development is crucial for maximizing the curricular objectives
