2032 Summer Paralympics Open
The 2032 Summer Paralympics, also known as the Brisbane 2032 Summer Paralympic Games, and branded as Brisbane 2032, will be the 19th edition of the Summer Paralympic Games, an international multi-sport parasports event governed by the International Paralympic Committee. The Games are scheduled to be held in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, from 24 August to 5 September 2032. The article's infobox gives the stadium as Brisbane Olympic Stadium, the new 63,000-seat ground at Victoria Park, where this pin sits; Lang Park is assigned only rugby sevens and the football final at the 2032 Olympics.
- The 2032 Summer Paralympics, also known as the Brisbane 2032 Summer Paralympic Games and branded as Brisbane 2032, will be the 19th edition of the Summer Paralympic Games, governed by the International Paralympic Committee, and is scheduled for Brisbane, Queensland, Australia from 24 August to 5 September 2032 (infobox: Opening 24 August 2032, Closing 5 September 2032, titled the "XIX Paralympic Games", logo shown marked "Provisional logo")[1]
- It will be the second Summer Paralympics held in Australia, after the 2000 Summer Paralympics in Sydney; it is preceded by Los Angeles 2028 and succeeded by "TBD 2036"[1]
- Brisbane stages the Games under the 2001 agreement between the IOC and the IPC that a city winning the Olympic host bid also stages the Paralympic Games; the Brisbane Organising Committee for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games was established by the Queensland Government to plan, organise and deliver both Games under the host contract (Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements Act 2021)[1]
- The infobox gives the stadium as Brisbane Olympic Stadium[1]; that venue is the planned 63,000-seat Brisbane Stadium in Victoria Park, Herston, which "will serve as the main stadium for the 2032 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games" and "is expected to host the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the athletics events during the games"[2]
- The Victoria Park stadium was announced by Premier David Crisafulli on 25 March 2025 as part of the 2032 Delivery Plan, at an estimated A$3.785 billion within the A$7.1 billion Games infrastructure funding envelope; groundbreaking is given as "June 2026 (expected)" and opening as "2031/2032 (expected)", with Cox Architecture, Hassell and Azusa Sekkei selected as architects on 5 January 2026, land transfer to the GIICA on 1 June 2026, and BESIX Watpac-John Holland Group and Built Australia-Sacyr named construction finalists on 9 April 2026; the location "has drawn opposition groups and has ongoing legal challenges"[2]
- "The initial sports programme is yet to be determined"; federations campaigning for inclusion are rugby league (International Rugby League, July 2021, focusing on wheelchair rugby league), blind cricket (2024, with IPC president Andrew Parsons confirming in June 2025 that "a gold medal match held at The Gabba is a possibility should the sport be included"), lawn bowls (World Bowls and Bowls Australia, July 2025, alongside boccia), para sailing (World Sailing proposal, December 2025, to reinstate a sport that ran from 2000 to 2016) and women's blind football (IBSA, August 2026)[1]
- In November 2022 advocates including Paralympian Karni Liddell raised concerns about Brisbane's preparedness, citing a lack of accessibility for people with disabilities across the city; Youngcare Connect manager Shane Jamieson called the city "completely ill-prepared", and Queensland Human Rights Commissioner Scott McDougall said 40% of South East Queensland railway stations were still only accessible by stairs[1]
- Lang Park (Suncorp Stadium), the 52,500-capacity Milton ground being renovated for 2032, is set to host rugby sevens and the football final at the 2032 Summer Olympics rather than Paralympic events[3]
