The 2012 Summer Paralympic Games will be the fourteenth Paralympics and will take place between 29 August and 9 September 2012. The Games will be held in London, United Kingdom after the city was successful with its bid for the Paralympics and Summer Olympic Games. There will be 1.6 million tickets available for the various events with a predicted sell-out rate of 63%.

In their evaluation report, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) states that "With its rich history, the capacities of UK Paralympic Sport are among the best in the world."

Even though 2012 will be London's third Olympic Games, it will be the first Paralympic Games to be staged there, as the event was created after the last time the city hosted in 1948.
