The 2028 Summer Olympics are scheduled to be held in Los Angeles, California, United States, from July 14–30, 2028. The Games will be hosted in and around Greater Los Angeles and Los Angeles County. The 2028 Summer Paralympics will be held from August 15-27, 2028. The city's bid relied on a majority of existing venues and venues that had already been under construction or were planned regardless of the Games. The majority of venues are divided into clusters known as "sports parks", situated in Downtown Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, Carson (at California State University, Dominguez Hills), and Long Beach. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma will host the events for softball and canoe slalom. No new permanent venues are being built specifically for the Games.
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and the Rose Bowl will host athletics and football (soccer), respectively. Both will become the first stadiums to have ever hosted three different Olympiads. BMO Stadium, which opened in 2018 as the home of Major League Soccer's Los Angeles FC, will host flag football and lacrosse. The University of California, Los Angeles will house the main Olympic Village (with a sub-village at the Oklahoma City University for canoe slalom and softball athletes), while USC will house the Olympic Media Village. Riviera Country Club will host golf.
The 2017 venue plan proposed holding the opening ceremonies at both SoFi Stadium and the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, in an acknowledgement of the Coliseum's role in the 1932 and 1984 Olympics. SoFi Stadium opened in 2020 as the home of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers. It will host swimming, becoming the largest swimming venue in Olympic history. SoFi Stadium is expected to serve as the main ceremonies venue, and the Los Angeles Organizing Committee will incorporate the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum into the opening ceremonies' protocol in a dual-venue format. The closing ceremony will be held at the Coliseum. LA28 confirmed the official ceremonies plan on May 8, 2025.
Venues and infrastructure The venues listed in this article were announced at various times leading up to the Games.

Preliminary football (soccer) venues
Preliminary soccer venues were originally planned to be within the Greater Los Angeles area or other California cities. However, in April 2025, it was confirmed that all preliminary soccer matches would be held outside Los Angeles. The seven selected stadiums were announced on February 3, 2026. The match schedule, which will be unveiled before April 2026, will allow the competition to progressively move east to west as teams advance to the final stages, minimizing travel demands.
