Los Angeles City Council Advances Venue Plan for 2028 Olympic Flag Football Debut

BMO Stadium in Exposition Park is set to host flag football and lacrosse events, with final approval from international committees pending.

Flag football will make its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, alongside four other new sports: cricket, lacrosse, squash, and baseball/softball.
The Los Angeles City Council has preliminarily approved BMO Stadium in Exposition Park as the venue for flag football and lacrosse events.
Men's and women's flag football finals are tentatively scheduled for July 28 and 29, 2028, respectively, pending final confirmation.
The updated venue plan emphasizes sustainability and the use of existing locations, including the San Fernando Valley, which will host Olympic events for the first time.
Final approval of the venue assignments is required from the International Olympic Committee and International Paralympic Committee in the coming months.
