The 2028 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad, will take place in Los Angeles from July 14 to July 30, 2028. Commonly referred to as LA28, these Games will mark the fifth time the United States has hosted the Summer Olympics and the third time the Games have come to Los Angeles, following editions in 1932 and 1984.
Official Dates and Schedule
The Olympic Games will run for 16 days from July 14 to July 30, 2028. The Paralympic Games will follow from August 15 to August 27, 2028. Combined, the LA28 Games will span more than six weeks of elite athletic competition, with over 15,000 athletes expected to participate across both the Olympic and Paralympic programs.
Sports and Events at LA28
The 2028 Olympics will feature 351 events across a diverse range of sports — 22 more than at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The IOC approved several exciting new additions including cricket, flag football, lacrosse, and squash. Baseball and softball will also return to the Olympic program. Long-standing fan favorites such as gymnastics, swimming, athletics (track and field), and basketball will remain central to the Games.
Venues Across Los Angeles
The LA28 Games will utilize 49 competition venues spread across the Greater Los Angeles area. Key venues include the LA Memorial Coliseum for athletics, SoFi Stadium for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, Dodger Stadium for baseball, the Intuit Dome for basketball, and the Riviera Country Club for golf. Preliminary soccer matches will be held in New York, Columbus, St. Louis, Nashville, San Jose, and San Diego.
Sustainability and Innovation
A defining feature of the LA28 Games is the commitment to use 100 percent existing and temporary venues, minimizing new construction and environmental impact. Google will serve as a primary technology partner, integrating AI tools throughout the athlete and spectator experience. The Games aim to be the first energy-positive Olympics, generating more renewable energy than consumed during the event.
Accessibility at LA28
Full ADA compliance is a foundational requirement for all LA28 venues and operations. The city's Games Accessibility Plan sets detailed standards for accessible seating, transportation, communications, and services for visitors and athletes with disabilities. ADA 2028 is central to the LA28 vision of hosting Games that are truly welcoming to all participants and spectators.
