Los Angeles 2028: The Summer Games Return to America

For the first time since Atlanta 1996, the United States hosts the Summer Games. Los Angeles, which previously hosted in 1932 and 1984, joins London and Paris as a three-time Summer Games host. Competition brings athletes and supporters from around the world to some of the most recognizable venues in American sport.

The Games plan combines existing venues with temporary facilities. The LA Memorial Coliseum, SoFi Stadium, Intuit Dome, the Rose Bowl, and Crypto.com Arena are among the host venues. Flag football and squash make their Summer Games debuts, while baseball/softball, cricket, and lacrosse return to the program.

Xenia Events builds custom LA 2028 trips around your preferred sports, travel dates, and group size. Plan a long weekend around one event or a longer itinerary covering multiple sessions, with ticket options, hotel accommodations, private transportation, and concierge support tailored to your trip.

New & Returning Sports for 2028

Five additional sports join the LA28 program compared with Paris 2024: baseball/softball, cricket, flag football, lacrosse, and squash. Flag football and squash make their Summer Games debuts; the others return.

Flag Football

Flag football makes its Summer Games debut with men’s and women’s tournaments at Exposition Park Stadium, known outside the Games as BMO Stadium. The non-contact format brings a new football competition to the Games program.

Cricket (T20 Format)

Cricket returns to the Summer Games for the first time since 1900, using the T20 format. Competition takes place at the Fairgrounds in Pomona. If cricket is your priority, build hotel and transportation plans around Pomona rather than assuming every event is near central Los Angeles.

Baseball & Softball

Baseball and softball return after their most recent Summer Games appearance at Tokyo 2020. Baseball is at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, while softball is in Oklahoma City. These are separate destinations, so attending both requires additional travel planning.

Lacrosse & Squash

Lacrosse returns as a medal sport in the Sixes format at Exposition Park Stadium. Squash makes its Summer Games debut at the Comcast Squash Center at Universal Studios. Both add distinctive options for a multi-sport itinerary.

Tickets & Travel Packages

Xenia Events builds custom LA 2028 travel packages for couples, families, private groups, and corporate clients. Start with the sessions you most want to attend, then build the rest of your trip around them.

What Packages Can Include

Packages can combine event tickets, hotel accommodations, private transfers, multi-sport itinerary planning, and concierge support. Your quote will identify the specific sessions, seating, hotel, transportation, and other inclusions. Airfare is not included unless separately arranged and expressly confirmed.

Ticket-Only Options

If you already have accommodation arranged, contact us for ticket-only requests. Premium seating and hospitality can be requested for selected sessions, subject to availability. We will confirm the seating details and any hospitality inclusions before you book.

Corporate & Group Travel

Plan a client entertainment trip, employee incentive, or private group visit with hotel arrangements, coordinated ticket requests, and a tailored itinerary. Tell us your group size, preferred events, and budget so we can prepare suitable options.

No deposit required to request pricing. Xenia will prepare options based on your events, group size, and preferences. Requesting a quote does not reserve inventory or lock pricing; availability is confirmed when you book.

Los Angeles Summer Games History

Los Angeles will host the Summer Games for the third time in 2028, following its 1932 and 1984 editions. The city’s sporting history is an important part of the setting for the next Games.

Los Angeles 1932

The 1932 Games took place during the Great Depression, with the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum serving as the athletics venue. That first Los Angeles edition began the city’s long association with the Summer Games.

Los Angeles 1984

The Games returned to Los Angeles in 1984. Carl Lewis won four gold medals in the 100m, 200m, long jump, and 4x100m relay, becoming one of the defining athletes of that edition.

Los Angeles 2028

The Coliseum returns as the track and field venue, while newer facilities such as SoFi Stadium and Intuit Dome join the Games plan. Alongside familiar Summer Games events, new and returning sports give visitors more ways to shape a trip around their interests.

Why Plan Early for LA 2028

01
Identify Your Priority Sessions
Start with your must-see events, whether that is a track final, gymnastics session, or basketball medal game. A clear shortlist helps us focus your ticket search and suggest alternatives if availability is limited.
02
Match Your Hotel to Your Venues
Los Angeles covers a large area. Choosing your hotel around your actual sessions can reduce unnecessary travel. Rates, availability, and cancellation terms should be reviewed before confirming any accommodation.
03
Give Your Group Time to Coordinate
Corporate trips and larger groups need time for budgets, approvals, guest lists, and travel arrangements. Starting early makes it easier to agree on the events and experience that work for everyone.
04
Build Around the Published Schedule
LA28 has published its competition schedule. Use it to check session dates, venue locations, and realistic transfer windows. Leave room for security screening and traffic, and recheck the schedule as updates are released.
05
Plan a Trip That Works Beyond the Tickets
Balance event days with meals, sightseeing, and time to enjoy Los Angeles. A workable itinerary means more than fitting every available session into the calendar.
