World Para Athletics Grand Prix calendar confirmed for 2027

The World Para Athletics Grand Prix will return in 2027 with an eight‑stop season spanning four continents, offering athletes a crucial competitive pathway in the build‑up to the Tashkent 2027 World Para Athletics Championships. The new calendar brings together established hosts in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas, with events scheduled from late January through early September.

Following another successful year for the series, Para athletes from around the world will once again compete across the Grand Prix, gaining valuable international experience and opportunities to achieve qualification standards ahead of the World Championships.

The 2027 season opens once again in Dubai at the end of January before moving to New Delhi – both cities having previously hosted World Para Athletics Championships (Dubai in 2019 and New Delhi in 2025).

The series then heads to the Americas region, with the Cali Grand Prix in Colombia returning to the calendar for a third consecutive year. 

At the end of March, the Grand Prix arrives at the first of two African stops with the traditional Tunis GP. Grosseto follows next, marking its return to the Grand Prix calendar for the first time since 2019. The Italian city also staged the GP in 2016, the same year it hosted the European Championships.

Rabat and Tlaxcala are next on the schedule. The Moroccan and Mexican cities joined the Grand Prix circuit for the first time in 2026 and will return in 2027. 

Olomouc will host the final stop of the season at the end of August with the third edition of the World Para Athletics Women’s Grand Prix.
