Which sports are at the Winter Paralympics 2026? Full list of disciplines

Whether it’s speed, strength, skill, or endurance that excites you most, you’ll find your fix over the next 10 days at the Winter Paralympics 2026.

Across the six winter sports at Milano-Cortina 2026 – para alpine skiing, para biathlon, para cross-country skiing, para ice hockey, para snowboard, and wheelchair curling – there are 79 medal events and nearly 700 athletes competing.

Mixed doubles curling is the only event making its debut at this year's Winter Paralympics and there will be Brits competing for the first medals, with Jo Butterfield and Jason Kean set to take to the ice.

In total, ParalympicsGB have 25 athletes going to Milano-Cortina 2026 and there is optimism that they could return from the Italian Dolomites with between two and five medals.

The joy of the Games is that there is something for every fan, whether you're a die-hard or a casual, and that an event you've never even heard of could be your new obsession by the time the closing ceremony arrives.
