A Games spread across a whole region rather than a single park, with the planning decisions made long before the opening ceremony
The Olympics 2028 Los Angeles edition, formally the 2028 Summer Olympics, runs from 14 to 30 July 2028. It will be the third time the city hosts the Games, after 1932 and 1984, and the programme covers 353 medal events across 36 sports.
The opening ceremony is planned for 14 July at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and SoFi Stadium simultaneously, with the closing ceremony at the Coliseum.
Los Angeles spreads its programme across the whole region. Athletics sits at the Coliseum near Downtown, swimming at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, gymnastics at the Crypto.com Arena, basketball at the Intuit Dome, and football at the Rose Bowl. The athletes’ village is on the UCLA campus.
The organisers describe a transit-first approach, but distances in Los Angeles are measured in time, not kilometres. Where you sleep decides how many sessions you can comfortably attend in a day, and that is the first decision to make.
Ticketing has moved quickly. A registration draw ran from January to March 2026, followed by public sale windows in April and August 2026, and the organisers report that more than six million tickets have already been sold. First-come, first-served sales are planned for 2027, with the opening date yet to be announced.
Premium access is handled separately. LA28 has appointed On Location as its Official Hospitality Provider, with packages that combine seating with priority entry and dedicated lounges. We do not resell tickets. What we do is help you decide which sessions and which format are worth the effort, and arrange everything around them.
Not every day of a Games is equal. The opening ceremony is a one-off, and athletics at the Coliseum is the programme’s historic centre. Swimming at SoFi Stadium has a planned capacity of around 38,000.
The 2028 programme also brings back or adds flag football, lacrosse, squash, cricket, baseball, and softball, which gives a visit a different character from earlier Games. A short list of two or three sessions, chosen for atmosphere as much as for the medal, makes for a better trip than an attempt to see everything.
July in Los Angeles means long evenings, rooftops above the city, and tables that fill early. The weeks around the Games are best planned as a whole trip rather than a list of fixtures. Our guide to the Milan Cortina Winter Olympic Games shows how we approach the same question for a different format.
Tell us which sessions matter and we will arrange the rest around them
We build the Games around the sessions that matter to you: rooms chosen for their position relative to your venues, transfers that follow the schedule, tables at restaurants and nightlife venues, secured before the rush, and a single point of contact when plans move. For companies hosting guests, our business concierge service handles the same detail for a group.

Tickets are sold through the organisers’ official channels, and a first-come, first-served phase is planned for 2027. We do not resell tickets, but we can help you plan which sessions to target and arrange the stay around them

Yes. On Location is the Official Hospitality Provider, offering packages with premium seating, priority entry, and lounges
As early as possible. Rooms near the main venues are the first to tighten, and transport is easier to build once the sessions are known
