Los Angeles was awarded the 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympics way back in 2017, but now, nearly a decade later, we’re close enough that you can actually say that the next Olympics will be held in L.A. The flag is here and ticket registration has started—the Summer Games are getting close—so now it’s time to start looking ahead to where everything will actually be taking place.
There are a couple of relatively dense clusters of venues, notably in Downtown L.A., Long Beach, Exposition Park and the Valley, but the Games will touch plenty of other pockets of L.A., and in some cases even outside of it—but more on that in a bit. From July 14 to 30, 2028, the Olympics will hold 353 events in 36 sports, and a month later the Paralympics will hold 560 events in 23 sports from August 15 to 27. That’s a lot of medals to witness being awarded, and you’ll need to trek between dozens of venues to see them all.
Given L.A.’s aim for a “no-build Olympics,” you’ll find events taking place at plenty of familiar venues—albeit sometimes with unfamiliar names. The Olympics largely drops corporate branding when it comes to venue names, so something like SoFi Stadium simply becomes 2028 Stadium. But some companies have struck deals to keep their branded venue names. Regardless, to keep things as easy to follow as possible, we’ve listed out all of the venues below with the titles that Angelenos are most familiar with; if it’s referred to by an unbranded name on LA28’s website, we’ve put that one in parentheses. Just about all of the venues have been announced so far, but we’ve noted where details are still a little thin.
