LA28 Unveils Full 2028 Olympic Schedule, Putting Women’s 100m Final on Opening Night

Organizers reversed the usual order to allow SoFi Stadium’s conversion for aquatics in week two.

Overview

  • The July 15 opener features women’s triathlon medals and the women’s 100m running all three rounds to a primetime final at the LA Memorial Coliseum.
  • Athletics leads week one and swimming shifts to week two, with aquatics set to award the final medals just before the July 30 Closing Ceremony.
  • LA28 plans about 11,200 athletes across 51 sports at 49 venues, with women allocated 50.5% of athlete quotas and equal or greater women’s team entries in every team sport.
  • Roughly 14 million tickets are planned, with registration in January 2026 and public sales in April 2026 under fixed pricing without dynamic adjustments.
  • A July 29 “Super Saturday” packs 26 medal sessions, baseball returns at Dodger Stadium starting July 13, and cricket, lacrosse, flag football and squash are on the program; AP reporting notes the timetable hampers a 400m/400m hurdles double for Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone.
