  The goal of the HL-LHC is to increase the LHC peak nominal Luminosity by a factor of seven in order to provide more accurate measurements of new particles and enable observation of rare processes that occur below the current sensitivity level. Achieving this target requires to double the beam intensity and reduce the emittance by 40%. All the LHC injectors, from the LINAC to the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) including the heavy ion chain, have to be improved to reliably supply such high brightness beams to the HL-LHC. The upgrade campaign will be completed during the Second Long Shutdown (LS2) in 2019-2020. The performance objectives and the status of this challenging program is presented.
