Paris 2024 Paralympic Games: what time and channel to watch goalball?

The Olympic and Paralympic Games are always an opportunity to discover new sports or to follow less publicized disciplines. From August 29 to September 5, 2024, goalball fans are in for a treat: every day, several matches are scheduled at theArena Paris Sud 6. Great moments and thrills await lovers of this Paralympic sport.

Goalball is a team sport played by visually impaired and blind people. The team's objective is to send the ball into the opponent's goal by bouncing it at least once on the ground. Matches are short (twice 12 minutes) and can be very intense. The public must remain silent to allow the athletes to hear the ball, which is fitted with bells.
