The 2028 Summer Olympics are scheduled to be held in Los Angeles, United States, from July 14–30, 2028.
The bid for the Games relies primarily on existing venues in and around the Greater Los Angeles area, divided into four clusters known as "sports parks". [1] [2] SoFi Stadium is expected to serve as the ceremonies venue, although the Los Angeles organizing committee has also proposed the incorporation of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum into the ceremonies' protocol in a dual-venue format.
