The 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles will be the most expansive in Paralympic history. Scheduled to run from August 15 to August 27, 2028, the Games will welcome approximately 4,480 Para-athletes competing across 23 Paralympic sports. Los Angeles has never previously hosted a Paralympic Games, making 2028 a genuinely historic milestone for both the city and the global disability sports movement.
2028 Paralympic Sports Program
The LA28 organizing committee confirmed an expanded sports program for the 2028 Paralympic Games. The roster includes athletics (track and field), swimming, wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, goalball, boccia, blind football, rowing, cycling, shooting, archery, powerlifting, judo, wheelchair fencing, wheelchair rugby, equestrian, triathlon, canoe, sailing, taekwondo, and table tennis. At least one new sport discipline will be added, making it the largest Paralympic sports program ever assembled.
Key Venues for the 2028 Paralympics
Para-athletes will compete across many of the same world-class venues used for the Olympic Games. The LA Memorial Coliseum, SoFi Stadium, and the Intuit Dome are among the primary competition venues. All venues are being evaluated and upgraded to ensure full ADA compliance and accessibility for athletes, officials, media, and spectators with disabilities. Accessible transportation corridors connecting venues are a central element of the Games Accessibility Plan.
Tickets and Attendance
Paralympic tickets will be available for purchase beginning in 2027. The LA28 organizing committee is committed to making tickets affordable and accessible, with specific provisions for wheelchair users, personal care attendants, and spectators with other access needs. Companion seating and accessible viewing areas will be available at every venue, and dedicated accessible ticket purchasing pathways will be provided online and by telephone.
Legacy for Los Angeles
Beyond the Games themselves, LA28 has pledged that its accessibility investments will leave a lasting legacy for Angelenos with disabilities. Improved sidewalks, accessible public transit, Braille signage, and disability-inclusive programming are all intended to outlast the Olympic flame and deliver long-term quality-of-life improvements for the city's residents with disabilities.
