The countdown to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics has officially begun! Organizers have just released a sneak peek of the competition schedule, and it’s packed with thrilling changes that are set to shake up the Games.
Switching Up the Spotlight
In a move that’s turning tradition on its head, the Los Angeles Olympics will see track and field events kicking off the excitement in the first week. This means our favorite athletes will be hitting the ground running—literally—from the very start. Swimming events, usually the opening highlight, will make waves in the second week instead.
Iconic Venues, Unforgettable Moments
The opening ceremony is slated for July 14, 2028, and for the first time, it will be split between two legendary venues: the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The closing ceremony on July 30 will bring everyone back to the Coliseum for a grand finale.
First Champs and Final Showdowns
The very first Olympic champion in LA will be crowned at the picturesque Venice Beach after the intense triathlon event. And as per tradition, the marathon will close out the competitions on the final weekend, promising an epic conclusion to the Games.
The Busiest Day Yet
Mark your calendars for Day 15! It’s expected to be the most action-packed day, featuring 16 team finals and 19 individual medal events. From basketball to athletics, the day will be a non-stop thrill for sports fans around the world.
Stay Tuned for More
While this first look has everyone buzzing, organizers have assured that the schedule will continue to be fine-tuned. A more detailed breakdown is set to be released later this year, so keep your eyes peeled for updates!
