The Paralympics have come a long way since 1948, when Sir Ludwig Guttmann organised a sports competition involving 16 World War II veterans with spinal cord injuries at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, England.

Seven decades later and the Paralympic Games are now the world’s third biggest sporting event in terms of ticket sales, beaten only by the Olympic Games and the World Cup. Indeed, the last Paralympics achieved a TV audience of 2.02 billion.

This year, the games will feature 539 events in 22 sports and sees para-badminton and para-taekwondo, replace sailing and 7-a-side football.

Look out for the USA's Tatyana McFadden, arguably the best female wheelchair racer of all time, who will be competing in the T54. Team GB Paralympic gold medal-winning sprinter Jonnie Peacock is back to defend his title, and 56-year-old Team USA Para-archer Lia Coryell, who fought off a devastating Covid-19 infection, is targeting her first gold medal.

Ready to cap off two weeks of high emotions and manic medalling? UK viewers can watch today's closing ceremony free on Channel 4. Make sure you know how to watch a 2021 Paralympics free live stream from wherever you are in the world.

UK: Channel 4 has license holders covered with awesome free-to-air coverage of the Paralympic Games live from Tokyo. The network is promising to "bring every sport to every viewer", with over 1000 hours of action available via 16 live streams.

Stuck outside the UK during the Paralympics? Brits trying to access Channel 4 from abroad can use a VPN to watch from anywhere, without being geo-blocked. We recommend ExpressVPN as it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.

Australia: free streaming platform 7Plus offers impressive free coverage, across computer, tablet and mobile. 7Plus will serve up to 16 live feeds, all free and in HD for those in Oz. Use a VPN to access 7 Plus whenever you're abroad.

Canada: CBC is another good bet. It will air the Paralympics in prime time for the first time, alongside decent free streaming coverage from Tokyo. Use a VPN to access CBC whenever you're abroad.

Even if you have subscribed to the relevant 2021 Paralympic Games rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are lots of VPN providers but some are more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money-back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel without penalty.

With Tokyo (almost) in the same time zone as Australia, Channel 7 has gone big and secured the rights to every Paralympic sport. From morning to midnight every day on Seven and 7Plus, Aussie viewers can watch up to 16 live streams free.

Going to be away from Oz? Simply use a VPN to stream 7Plus from anywhere in the world. We recommend ExpressVPN as it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.

Eighteen of the 22 Paralympic disciplines will be covered live, including swimming, athletics, cycling, wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby.

“There will be some great stories: from Ryley Batt’s remarkable bid for a third consecutive gold medal in the wheelchair rugby to Madi de Rozario gunning for our first gold in women’s wheelchair racing since the great Louise Sauvage, and much, much more," said Paralympic champ Kurt Fearnley, one of the Channel 7 team.

The rights to stream the Tokyo Paralympics are split between Sportsnet, TSN and CBC. Already a subscriber? Log in with your password and you should be good to go.

CBC holds the rights to the Olympics and Paralympics in Canada until 2024. You can watch a free stream of many events on the CBC.ca website and via the CBC Olympics app.

Alternatively, sign up to Sportsnet Now for CAD$20 a month and TSN for either CAD$5 a day or CAD$20 a month. That should cover you for most Paralympic events.

Meanwhile, sports fans in Australia can watch almost every minute of the 2021 Paralympic Games free on Channel 4 and 7Plus. Remember to use a VPN if you're going to be outside Oz during the games.

Can I watch the Paralympics in 4K?

Not in the UK, sadly. Channel 4 has the exclusive rights to the 2021 Paralympic games and tends to stick to HD streams.

Over in the USA, Comcast Xfinity X1 customers were granted extensive Olympics coverage in Dolby Vision HDR accompanied by Dolby Atmos sound. The live 4K broadcasts were available in 38 markets (here's NBC's full list). We'd expect at least some of the Paralympics sports to be broadcast in 4K HDR, but that's yet to be confirmed.

US viewers should also be able to watch selected Paralympic events in 4K on the Olympic Channel – the International Olympic Committee's very own 24/7 TV channel, available via AT&T/DirecTV, Comcast/Xfinity, Cox, DISH, fuboTV, Verizon Fios, and YouTube TV.
