Day 1 of the 2024 Paralympics starts with a bang, with lots of GB competitors across a range of different sports. 

The first watchable action will see Jack Shephard and Rachel Choong face the Indonesian reigning world champions of Subhan Subhan and Rina Marlina at 08:10 in the badminton mixed doubles SH6. The first guaranteed medal could come after the women's doubles WD14 quarterfinals at 09:45 which features 14 year old Bly Twomey and Felicity Pickard. Twomey faces a Paralympics baptism of fire with a potential 4 matches on the cards. 7 swimmers are in action from 8:30 in the heats, all of whom will be hoping to make it through to the evening finals session. GB are in action in 3 track cycling events, and have 2 reigning world champions hoping to add Paralympic titles to their CVs. Kadeena Cox could win the first finite medal at 14:45 in the women's C4-5 500m Time Trial, where she is the 2 time defending world champion. Boccia, badminton and table tennis matches keep the GB interest up through the day, and all 3 teams will begin their medal campaigns as well. Day 1 is rounded out by the swimming programme, where GB boast 2 world number 1's and World record holders as well as global medalists in all 4 events with GB entrants in the session.

As far as I can see all of these things are down to covered on C4's YouTube feed except obviously the archery.  Then badminton & table tennis will be on multiple courts, but mainstream C4 will pick up British interest.

During the OC the commentator said that they have 'everything live'

Today, all GB matches are on courts 1 and 2 which are the televised ones. I'm not sure about table tennis yet.
