Wheelchair fencing at the 2020 Summer Paralympics was held at the Makuhari Messe, the same place where goalball, sitting volleyball and taekwondo took place. It consisted of sixteen events (eight male, eight female) including two team events.[1]

The 2020 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games were postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They kept the 2020 name and were held from 24 August to 5 September 2021.[2][3]
