The 17th Pan American Games were held from 10 to 26 July 2015 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada; preliminary rounds in certain events began on July 7, 2015.

These were the third Pan American games hosted by Canada, which previously hosted the games in 1967 and 1999, both held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and these were the first games held in Ontario.

The Games hosted 6,132 athletes representing 41 NOCs in the Americas, marking the largest multi-sport event hosted in Canada, in terms of athletes competing. A record of 45% of competitors were women, the most ever for any multi-sport event. 364 events were contested in 36 sports, which included the 28 sports contested at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro; certain sports also served as qualification paths for these Olympics. Canoe slalom and golf made their Pan American Games debut, as well as women's competitions in baseball, C-1 canoe and rugby sevens.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is served as the host and domestic broadcaster of the 2015 Pan American Games. Just as for CBS in their coverage of the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis, USA, CBC also provided the world feed distribution for their 2015 Pan American Games coverage.
