The 2026 Oceania Para Athletics Championships will be third Oceania Para Athletics Championships for Oceania athletes with a disability. It will be held at the Arafura Stadium in Darwin, Northern Territory from 18 to 23 May 2026.

The Championships will be staged concurrently with the 2026 Senior, U18, U20 and Age Group and U16 Championships.

Classification

All athletes are classified according to their impairment and competition is a combined format where athletes of multiple different classifications compete against each other. Each classification consists of a three character code, starting with a letter and followed by a two-digit number. The letter specifies the event type: T for track and jumping events, and F for throwing events. The first digit of the number specifies the type of impairment and the second digit the severity of the impairment; the lower the second number, the more impaired.

• T/F11–13 (visual impairment)
• T/F20 (intellectual impairment)
• T/F31–34 (wheelchair events for athletes with a movement disorder, including cerebral palsy)
• T/F35–38 (ambulant events for athletes with a movement disorder, including cerebral palsy)
• T/F40–41 (short stature, including dwarfism)
• T/F42–44 (leg impairment, lower limb affected by limb deficiency, leg length difference, impaired muscle power or impaired range of movement)
• T/F45–47 (arm impairment, upper limbs affected by limb deficiency, impaired muscle power or impaired range of movement)
• T/F51–57 (wheelchair events for athletes with a lower body impairment, including paraplegia)
• T/F61-64 (Lower limb/s competing with prosthesis affected by limb deficiency and leg length difference)
