The 2026 Parapan American Championships in Lima will take place from October 21 to 25 and will be the event that awards the largest number of spots for the 2027 Parapan American Games, which will also be held in Lima.
A total of 38 places will be awarded: 9 in the men’s compound and recurve categories, 7 in the women’s compound and recurve, and 3 for the W1 category, for both women and men.
The first qualifying spots in the compound and recurve events will be determined in the doubles competition.
The remaining 14 spots will be allocated based on the final individual rankings of the medal events.
Following the Parapan American Championships, the four official spots earned during the 2026 Para South American Games in Valledupar will be allocated, as well as four spots for the Central American and Caribbean region.
Countries that have not yet secured spots will have the opportunity to do so at the second and final qualifying event, scheduled for March of next year during the Hyundai World Archery Para Series in Fortaleza, Brazil.
Archery will be one of the four sports in which competition will begin before the official opening of the Parapan American Games; the official practice session will take place on August 17, and the final day of medal competition will be August 21, one day after the opening ceremony.
