Roller sports competitions at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto was held from July 11 to 13 at the St. John Paul II Catholic Secondary School for the speed competitions. Originally the 400 meters oval would be constructed at CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Aquatics Centre and Field House and meant to be temporary but a last minute venue change to St. John Paul II Catholic Secondary School means that the high school gets to keep the track after the competition.
The figure skating competitions took place at the Direct Energy Centre (Exhibition Centre). Due to naming rights the venue will be known as the latter for the duration of the games. A total of eight events (six in speed and two in figure) will be contested, with the events being equally split between each gender.
The following is the competition schedule for the roller sports competitions:
A total of 15 nations have qualified athletes. The numbers in parenthesis represents the number of participants entered.
A total of 56 skaters will qualify to compete at the Games. 20 male and 20 female speed skaters will qualify, while 8 male and 8 female figure skaters will also qualify. A nation may enter a maximum of six athletes (two male and two females on speed skating, with a maximum of one athlete per each figure skating event). The host nation (Canada) is automatically qualified with a full team.
