contents In this paper, we investigate the possible parameter space of Palatini-Horndeski theory with gravitational waves in a spatially flat Universe. We find that if the theory satisfies the following condition: in any spatially flat cosmological background, the tensor gravitational wave speed is the speed of light $c$, then only $S = \int d^4x \sqrt{-g} \big[K(ϕ,X)-G_{3}(ϕ,X){\tilde{\Box}}ϕ+G_{4}(ϕ)\tilde{R}\big]$ is left as the possible action in Palatini-Horndeski theory.
