2028 Summer Olympics Location

The 2028 Summer Olympics will take place in Los Angeles, California in the United States of America (USA). The city had originally bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics but ultimately agreed to host in 2028 instead. These will mark the fifth Summer Olympics and ninth Olympics overall to be hosted by the United States. The last Summer Olympics to be held in the USA was in 1996, when the events took place in Atlanta, Georgia.

Los Angeles has previously hosted the events in 1932 and 1984. As a result, the city will become the third three-time host city, joining London and Paris in this accolade. The Games will be hosted in and around Greater Los Angeles and Los Angeles County. Venues have been divided into clusters labeled as "sports parks".

The sports parks are situated in Downtown Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley, Cason, and Long Beach. No new permanent venues are being built by the city for the Games. The Olympic Village, which will serve as a residential area for the different international delegations, will be situated on the UCLA campus whilst USC will host media. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum will host athletics events whilst the Rose Bowl will host soccer events.
