The wheelchair curling competitions of the 2026 Winter Paralympics were held from 4 to 14 March 2026 in the Stadio Olimpico del Ghiaccio in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. For the first time, a mixed doubles event will be contested.
Before the first competition day, two curling stones were missing from the venue; local Italian authorities were said to be investigating the situation.
Medal summary
Medal table The ranking in the table is based on information provided by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and will be consistent with IPC convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table will be ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by IPC country code.
