Mark your calendars for August 2027: the Department of Defense Warrior Games is coming back to Orlando, with ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World set to host the event from August 7 to 14, 2027.
The Warrior Games is a prestigious annual competition featuring wounded, ill, and injured military service members and veterans from all branches of the U.S. armed forces, as well as international allied nations. Athletes compete across a range of adaptive sports in a celebration of resilience, dedication, and the military community's remarkable spirit.
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex is no stranger to large-scale, high-caliber athletic events, making it a natural fit for a competition of this scope and significance. The sprawling Walt Disney World campus offers world-class facilities capable of accommodating the variety of adaptive sports disciplines featured in the Games.
For Central Florida residents and visitors planning to be in the area that summer, the 2027 Warrior Games promises to be an inspiring and meaningful event worth experiencing in person. Fox 35 Orlando first reported the news of the 2027 hosting announcement.
