The artistic competitions will start on July 26 and finish on the 27th. Speed skating competitions will take place on the 9th and 10 August.

In 2016, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) made several changes to its sports program, which were subsequently implemented for these games. Included in this was the addition of skateboarding events for the first time to the Pan American Games sports program.[2][3]

In May 2019, Panam Sports announced that skateboarding was removed from the sports program because World Skate could not guarantee the best athletes competing. Panam Sports also cited a "lack of respect" because World Skate scheduled a World Tour event at the same time as the games and would not authorize the competition as an Olympic qualifier.[4][5]

8 medal events are scheduled to be contested, two in artistic and six in speed skating. A total of 56 qualified to compete at the games.[6]
