The organisers of the European Para Championships 2027 have officially unveiled the full sports programme for the next edition of Europe’s largest multi-sport para event, which will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, from 2 to 15 August 2027.
More than 2,000 athletes from across Europe are expected to compete for continental titles and qualification places for the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games during the two-week event, which will be hosted in and around the Palexpo complex.
The programme will feature 12 sports:
- Boccia
- Blind football
- Goalball
- Wheelchair rugby
- Para taekwondo
- Para archery
- Para badminton
- Para table tennis
- Wheelchair basketball 3×3
- Wheelchair tennis
- Para judo
- Para climbing
Compared with the inaugural edition held in Rotterdam in 2023, the Geneva championships will further expand the event’s multisport character, bringing together an even broader range of disciplines under one umbrella.
For two weeks, Europe’s leading para athletes will compete side by side in a unique environment designed to showcase the strength and diversity of para sport while creating additional opportunities for visibility, collaboration and growth.
“These European Para Championships bring together different sports and federations at a single event. It makes it possible to showcase their full range of capabilities,” said Eric KERSTEN, CEO of the European Para Championships. “More sports means more competition, more dynamism and a stronger platform for para sport in Europe.”
The European Para Championships were launched in 2023 in Rotterdam, where more than 1,500 athletes from 45 countries competed across 10 sports. Geneva 2027 is expected to build on that success with a larger programme and an even greater international impact.
Further details regarding competition schedules, venues and ticket sales will be announced by the organisers at a later stage.
