Boccia has been contested at the Summer Paralympics since the 1984 Games in New York City and Stoke Mandeville.

This sport requires strategy and precision, and is similar to curling or French pétanque.

In 2024, separate events for men and women as individuals will be reintroduced, while pairs and team competition will remain mixed sex.

With the reintroduction of the separate sex classifications for individual play, the 2024 Paralympic Games will have the highest number of events in the history of the sport, eleven.

The table below gives the total number of boccia events and the disability classifications contested in individual, pairs, and team competition for each edition of the Summer Paralympics.
