The Paralympics are set to round off the summer of sport in spectacular fashion following the culmination of the Olympics earlier this month.
It's a great excuse to switch on the TV and watch events we don't usually get the chance to see.
Coverage of this year's Paralympics is set to be more extensive than ever before, with hours of live stream available throughout the 12-days of action.
The broadcasting rights for the Olympics and Paralympics are allocated by each events' governing body, meaning different channels will air the different games.
So while you might have been watching the Olympics on the BBC or Eurosport, the Paralympics will be shown on Channel 4.
Here's everything you need to know about the Paralympic coverage and where to watch.
What channel will show the Paralympics?
The BBC or ITV is perhaps your instinct when it comes to watching big sporting events, with the former having shown the Olympics and both splitting the coverage of the Euros.
This isn't the case however when it comes to the Paralympics, which will be shown on Channel 4.
Channel 4 has had the broadcasting rights for the Paralympics since London 2012, and last year it was confirmed that this would be extended to Paris 2024.
It will show over 300 hours of coverage on its main channels, while 16 dedicated livestreams will provide over 1000 hours of footage.
Meanwhile, More 4 will focus entirely on team sports.
Who are the presenters for Channel 4's coverage?
Channel 4 has a range of expert presenters and for the first time, over 70% of the team have disabilities.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
