Overview
- Athletics shifts to week one and swimming to week two to allow SoFi Stadium’s conversion for aquatics, giving more swimmers a chance to attend the opening ceremony on July 14.
- Day 1 on July 15 features the women’s 100m final with athletes running up to three rounds in a single day, the men’s 100m final on Day 2, and the first medals awarded in the women’s triathlon at Venice Beach.
- LA28 bills this as the largest Games, staging 51 sports across 49 venues with 50.5% of athlete quotas for women, and plans a Day 15 ‘Super Saturday’ with 26 finals across 23 sports.
- Program changes include the returns of baseball, softball, cricket and lacrosse plus Olympic debuts for flag football and squash, with some events held outside Los Angeles such as softball and canoe slalom in Oklahoma City.
- About 14 million tickets will be offered without dynamic pricing, with registration opening January 2026 via AXS and EVENTIM and hospitality provided by On Location.
