With the Paris Olympics wrapped up, the 2024 Paralympic Games are set to kick off soon, with a schedule full of sporting events. Here’s everything you need to know about when the Summer Paralympics will start and end.
The Paralympic Games will begin in Paris on Wednesday, Aug. 28 and continue through Sunday, Sept. 8. The opening ceremony will be on Aug. 28. Around 4,400 athletes will compete across 20 venues during the Paralympics. They’ll participate in 23 disciplines. At the Olympics, around 10,500 athletes competed in 48 sports disciplines. The closing ceremony for the Paralympics will take place on Sept. 8.

Unlike during the Olympics, where competition began before the opening ceremony, the first day of the Paralympics features only the opening ceremony. Some events, like para swimming, para table tennis, para sitting volleyball and para wheelchair basketball, will take place over the course of almost the entire Paralympics. Others, like para judo and para rowing, will happen over just a few days. The final day will feature both competition and the closing ceremony.
