LA28 Paralympic Daily Competition Schedule Released—1000 Days to Go

The long‑awaited 2028 Summer Paralympic Games in Los Angeles are now just 1000 days away, and the organisers have finally released the official daily competition schedule. The announcement, which came in a feature on MSN Sports, outlines the timetable for all 12 Paralympic sports, the venues they will occupy, and the dates on which athletes will compete for gold, silver and bronze. For fans and participants alike, the schedule provides the first concrete look at how the Games will unfold over the 12‑day event.

1. The Schedule in a Nutshell

The new schedule is broken down by sport, venue and day, and it confirms that the Paralympic Games will run from September 14‑25, 2028. The opening ceremony is slated for the evening of September 14 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, with the Games themselves kicking off on September 15. Each sport has its own block of dates, with the closing ceremony on the night of September 25.

Each day’s schedule is further broken into time slots that differentiate between qualification rounds, semi‑finals and finals. The full PDF, which the MSN article links to, also includes a map of each venue and a legend that explains classification codes (e.g., T12 for visual impairment in track events, S6 for swimming).

2. Why 1000 Days Matters

Releasing the schedule a full 1000 days (approximately 2 ½ years) before the opening ceremony gives the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), national sports federations, and the Los Angeles Organising Committee ample lead time to coordinate logistics. For athletes, it allows national bodies to schedule training camps, arrange travel and accommodation, and negotiate sponsorship deals. For broadcasters, the timetable offers a clear framework for covering events live and for producing highlights packages.

The 1000‑day milestone is also a ceremonial one. The article notes that the organisers will host a “Countdown to 1000” event on September 14, the eve of the opening ceremony, featuring a countdown clock that will tick down to the moment the first final begins.

3. How the Schedule Was Developed

The schedule was created in close collaboration with the IPC’s “Sport‑Specific Working Group” and the International Federation governing each sport. Each federation was asked to provide input on preferred dates, rest days, and classification requirements. The resulting timetable attempts to balance the needs of athletes with varying classification levels while also ensuring that high‑profile events—such as the athletics finals and the wheelchair rugby semi‑finals—receive prime evening slots for maximum audience engagement.

The article quotes LA28’s Deputy Director for Sports, Sabrina DeCruz, who said: “We’re proud to share this schedule with the world. It reflects months of hard work, negotiation, and a deep commitment to the athletes and to the fans who will support them.”

4. Key Highlights from the Schedule

• Athletics (Track & Field) – The marquee sport opens the Games and features a full slate of men's and women's events across all classification categories. The final day of athletics on September 18 will conclude with the 100m sprint finals for the T12 and T44 classes, drawing the biggest crowds.

• Cycling – Road cycling opens on September 16 at the LA River Trail, with a 40‑km men’s road race and a 30‑km women’s road race. Track cycling follows at the LA Velodrome from September 20 to 23, featuring time trials, sprints and the prestigious team pursuit.

• Wheelchair Basketball & Rugby – Both sports will use the LA Coliseum’s court and rugby field, respectively. Basketball’s tournament begins on September 15 and runs through September 23, culminating in the gold‑medal match on September 23. Rugby’s tournament starts on September 15 and concludes on September 24.

• Swimming – The aquatic events spread from September 15 to 20 at the LA Aquatics Center, with a highlight being the 100m freestyle finals for the S6 classification, slated for September 19.

• Badminton and Table Tennis – These racket sports run concurrently from September 15 to 20, giving fans a chance to watch multiple matches in one sitting.

5. Accessing the Full Schedule

Readers can view the complete daily timetable in a PDF format by clicking the link provided in the MSN article. The document includes a comprehensive legend of classification codes, as well as the official start times for every event. It also highlights any day‑to‑day changes that have been made to accommodate venue availability or athlete recovery.

The PDF is also available on the official LA28 website under the “Games & Venues” section, where fans can download a mobile‑friendly version that syncs with Google Calendar. The article notes that the schedule is subject to change and that the IPC will issue updates via official social media channels and the LA28 website.

6. Looking Forward

With the schedule now out, the momentum is building for the 2028 Paralympic Games. National teams are already finalising their rosters, while the city of Los Angeles continues to prepare infrastructure upgrades—such as accessible transport hubs and adaptive lodging—to ensure a smooth experience for athletes and visitors alike.

The release also underscores the city’s commitment to inclusivity. The Los Angeles Organising Committee announced that 20 % of the Games’ staff will be individuals with disabilities, and that all venues will meet the highest standards of accessibility, from wheelchair‑friendly entrances to audio‑visual aids for the hearing impaired.

For fans and journalists, the daily schedule is the roadmap to the Games’ drama, triumph, and spirit of resilience that defines the Paralympic movement. As the 1000‑day countdown begins, the world will be watching, cheering, and celebrating the athletic achievements that will take place in the iconic streets and venues of Los Angeles.
