What Makes the 2028 Summer Olympics Historic

When the LA Summer Games open in July 2028, Los Angeles will become only the third city in history to host the Summer Olympics three times, joining London and Paris in one of sport's most exclusive clubs. But LA28 isn't just revisiting history — it's rewriting it.

For the first time ever, the Opening Ceremony will unfold across two stadiums simultaneously — the legendary Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and SoFi Stadium. The Coliseum will host its third Olympic Games, a distinction no other stadium in the world can claim. And in a feat of engineering ambition, SoFi Stadium will pull double duty — first hosting the Opening Ceremony, then undergoing a remarkable transformation to uncover its built-in pool and serve as the Olympic swimming venue during the second week of competition.

The Los Angeles 2028 Summer Games will also be the first in 80 years to rely entirely on existing venues, with no new permanent construction required. Instead, the Games will play out across LA's world-class stadiums, arenas, and outdoor spaces — making this a uniquely sustainable and unmistakably Angeleno Olympics.

Five Must-See Sports at the LA28 Olympic Games

The 2028 Olympic Games will feature five optional sports that are already generating massive excitement around the world. Whether making their Olympic debut or returning after decades — even centuries — away, these events will be among the hottest tickets of the Summer Games.

Flag Football

Football meets the Olympic stage for the very first time. Fast, physical, and tailor-made for LA, flag football is expected to be one of the most electrifying additions to the 2028 Summer Olympics. Top professional players may be eligible to compete, making this a can't-miss event for football fans everywhere.

Cricket (T20)

Cricket returns to the Olympic programme for the first time since 1900. The explosive T20 format — built for fast-paced, high-scoring drama — is perfectly suited for the Olympic stage. Fans from every cricket-loving nation on Earth will converge on Los Angeles to witness this historic comeback over a century in the making.

Lacrosse (Sixes)

After a 120-year absence dating back to the 1908 Games, lacrosse returns to the Olympics at LA28. The Sixes format delivers nonstop speed and physicality in a compact, high-energy package — promising edge-of-your-seat action from opening face-off to final whistle.

Baseball and Softball

America's pastime returns to the Summer Olympics after its last appearance at the Tokyo Games. With competition taking place at Dodger Stadium — one of the most iconic ballparks in the world, in a city that lives and breathes baseball — expect packed stands and passionate crowds unlike anything the Olympic baseball tournament has ever seen.

Squash

Squash makes its long-awaited Olympic debut at the 2028 Summer Olympics. Men's and women's individual tournaments will each feature 16 of the world's top players battling for gold in a one-of-a-kind venue setting that only Los Angeles could deliver.

Brand-New Events in Fan-Favorite Olympic Sports

It's not just new sports making headlines at the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Several beloved Olympic disciplines have added thrilling new events for 2028 that will give fans even more reasons to be in the stands.

• Swimming adds six new sprint events — the 50m backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly for both men and women — promising explosive, blink-and-you'll-miss-it races.
• Athletics introduces a mixed 4x100m relay, only the second mixed-gender event in the sport's Olympic history.
• Artistic gymnastics debuts a mixed-team event, combining the best male and female gymnasts from each nation on a single squad.

• Rowing adds coastal beach sprints — a gritty, outdoor format that couldn't be more at home in Southern California.
• Archery will contest the compound bow for the first time — the first new bow style added to the Olympic programme since the sport returned in 1972.

World-Class Venues Across Los Angeles and Beyond

The LA 2028 Games will transform all of Southern California into one massive Olympic stage. With over 40 venues organized into distinct zones, fans can plan unforgettable multi-event days without ever leaving their part of the city. Here's where the action will unfold.

Downtown LA Zone

The cultural heart of the Games. Catch judo at the LA Convention Center and artistic gymnastics at the DTLA Arena — all steps apart in the center of the city. Planning your day around a single zone is the easiest way to see more events with less stress.

Exposition Park Zone

Home to the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum — site of both the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and all track and field events. Nearby, BMO Stadium hosts flag football and lacrosse, while the Galen Center welcomes badminton and rhythmic gymnastics.

Inglewood Zone

SoFi Stadium co-hosts the Opening Ceremony and then transforms into the Olympic swimming venue — a first in Summer Games history. Next door, Intuit Dome showcases world-class basketball.

Long Beach Zone

The waterfront comes alive with rowing, canoe events, water polo, shooting, sport climbing, and beach volleyball — all set against stunning Pacific Ocean views. If you want sun, sport, and scenery, Long Beach is your zone.

Carson Zone

A hub for diverse competition including archery, rugby sevens, field hockey, tennis, and track cycling at the VELO Sports Center.

Pasadena Zone

The legendary Rose Bowl Stadium stages the 2028 Olympic soccer finals, adding yet another unforgettable chapter to one of American sports' most storied venues.

SoFi Stadium will then undergo one of the most ambitious venue transformations in Olympic history, reconfiguring to uncover its built-in pool for swimming events during the second week.

The penultimate day of competition — July 29 — promises to be one of the most electric single days in Olympic history, with medal events across 23 sport disciplines including basketball, beach volleyball, golf, soccer, and swimming.

Tips to Make the Most of the LA Summer Games

The Summer Olympics in Los Angeles will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience — and a little planning goes a long way toward making it perfect. Here's how to get the most out of your time at the Games.

Plan by Zone

Grouping your events by venue zone is the easiest way to maximize your day. Watch judo and artistic gymnastics back to back in the Downtown LA Zone, or combine swimming and basketball in the Inglewood Zone — all without fighting LA traffic between sessions.

Arrive Early for Pre-Ceremony Action

Several sports begin two to four days before the Opening Ceremony. Score tickets to early-round competition in baseball, basketball, cricket, soccer, and more while the rest of the world waits for the torch to be lit. Fewer crowds, same world-class competition.

Dress for a Southern California Summer

July in LA means sunshine and warmth. Light, comfortable clothing, sunscreen, a hat, and a refillable water bottle are absolute essentials — especially for outdoor venues along the Long Beach waterfront and in the Valley Zone.

Capture Every Moment

Bring your phone or camera fully charged. From the roar of the crowd at SoFi Stadium to the medal ceremonies at the Coliseum, these are the kinds of moments you'll want to relive and share for a lifetime.

Explore Los Angeles

The Olympics are just the beginning. World-class dining, iconic beaches, legendary entertainment, and vibrant neighborhoods await beyond the venues. Make this more than a sporting event — make it the trip of a lifetime.
