More than 100 Canadian athletes have gathered in Paris for the 2024 Paralympics.
This year's Paralympic Games begin Wednesday, Aug. 28, with the opening ceremony and run through Sunday, Sept. 8. Paralympians will battle for a total of 549 gold medals across several events like wheelchair basketball, goalball, para powerlifting and para swimming.
Brianna Hennessy (para canoe), Nate Riech (para athletics) and Aurelie Rivard (para swimming) are among the top Canadian athletes to watch at the Summer Games. Patrick Anderson (wheelchair basketball) and Katarina Roxon (para swimming) will serve as the Canadian flag-bearers for the opening ceremony.
Here is everything you need to know about the 2024 Paralympics, including TV and streaming options for events.
How to watch Paralympics in Canada: TV channels, live streams
- TV channels: CBC
- Live streams: CBC.ca | CBC Gem | CBC Paris app | Fubo
CBC will offer daily coverage of the 2024 Paralympics. Events will also be available to stream on CBC.ca, CBC Gem and the CBC Paris app. Select broadcasts will be available via Fubo, which is currently offering a free trial.
What time is it in Paris?
Paris is six hours ahead of Eastern Time, so you can simply add six hours to the current time in that zone in order to figure out the current time in Paris. For example, 5 a.m. ET would be 11 a.m. in Paris.
Because of that time difference, several events will be held during the early morning and mid-morning hours in Canada, and the last event of each day will take place in the late afternoon or early evening.
