Thank you for your interest in competing at the National Veterans Wheelchair Games—the largest adaptive sports and rehabilitation event designed exclusively for U.S. military veterans with disabilities.

Eligibility: Participation is open to Veterans living with spinal cord injuries, amputations, multiple sclerosis or other central neurological conditions. Physical disabilities must be permanent, measurable and impact mobility. All veterans registering for the National Veterans Wheelchair Games must be eligible to receive care at a VA medical facility. When a veteran’s diagnosis and eligibility to compete is in question, we will refer to the eligibility criteria appropriate for that person to participate in other community wheelchair sports organizations.

Stay tuned for more information about the 2027 Games in Orlando, Florida!
