List of Paralympic Games host cities

Austria, Norway, Italy, the United Kingdom, Canada, and China have each hosted two games.

In 2016, the Paralympics were held in South America for the first time.

No Paralympic Games have been hosted in the continents of Africa and Antarctica.

After ten months, the Executive Board of the IOC decides which of these applicant cities will become candidate cities based on the recommendation of a working group that reviews the applications.

In the second stage, the candidate cities are investigated thoroughly by an Evaluation Commission, which then submits a final short list of cities to be considered for selection.
