LA 2028  ·  Basketball at Crypto.com Arena

USA Basketball. Home Court. Gold Medal on the Line.

The United States men’s basketball team has won gold at every Summer Games since 2000, with one exception. In 2028, they play at home — at Crypto.com Arena in Downtown Los Angeles, the building the Lakers call home, in front of a crowd that will be overwhelmingly American. That context makes every session, from group stage through the gold medal game, a different kind of event than basketball anywhere else on the Games calendar.

The Women’s program carries the same weight. USA Women’s Basketball has won seven consecutive gold medals. Both programs will be playing their most significant games in decades on home soil, in one of the most recognizable arenas in sport. For groups making the trip from Austin, the question is not whether to go — it’s which games matter most and how early to move on tickets.

Who This Is For

Who Books a Basketball Package

Basketball draws the widest cross-section of Summer Games attendees of any sport on the program. These are the groups Xenia builds packages for most often.

Gold Medal Game Seekers

Coming specifically for the Men’s or Women’s final. The most competitive sessions in the basketball program. For USA at home, demand will be unlike any prior Games cycle. Planning early is the only reliable path to these tickets.

USA Basketball Fans

Following the Men’s or Women’s team through the tournament. Group stage games offer full-roster access at a more accessible price point. Knockout rounds deliver everything group stage games do, with elimination adding a different level of focus to every possession.

Corporate Groups

Basketball is the most universally understood event on the Games program. A USA Basketball session at Crypto.com Arena is a premium client outing that requires no sport-specific knowledge to land. The venue, the team, and the occasion do the work.

International Supporters

Following a national program other than the US through the tournament. The Summer Games basketball field is the strongest in the world outside the NBA. Groups following European or South American programs will find competitive, high-level basketball at every round.

Multi-Sport Groups

Pairing basketball with gymnastics at Crypto.com simplifies the entire trip. Same venue, same hotel placement, same transfer routing. Groups using the arena for both sports remove the logistical overhead of a multi-venue schedule.

Families

Basketball is one of the most straightforward Summer Games events for families. The format is familiar, the sessions are well-paced, and Crypto.com Arena is a comfortable venue for a wide age range. Group stage games are the natural entry point.

Common Questions

What People Ask About Basketball at LA 2028

Planning questions specific to the basketball program at Crypto.com Arena.

Where is basketball held at LA 2028?+
Basketball is held at Crypto.com Arena in Downtown Los Angeles, home of the LA Lakers. The venue seats approximately 20,000 and is about 20 minutes from LAX by car. Gymnastics at the Games also runs at Crypto.com, making it one of the two highest-demand indoor venues on the program.
Which basketball sessions are hardest to get tickets for?+
The Men’s Gold Medal Game is the single most-contested ticket in the basketball program. The Women’s Gold Medal Game and Men’s Semifinals follow closely. Any session with USA Basketball playing a knockout round will carry significantly higher demand than the same round at a Games held outside the US. Group stage sessions are the most accessible entry point for most groups.
Can Xenia get tickets to the gold medal game?+
Yes. Xenia tracks inventory across official and secondary market sources. The gold medal game is one of the highest-demand sessions in the entire program, not just basketball. Getting in touch early allows us to identify options and act as soon as sales open, rather than waiting until options are depleted.
Does the US men’s team automatically qualify for LA 2028?+
Yes. The host nation qualifies automatically for both the Men’s and Women’s basketball tournaments. USA Men’s Basketball has won gold at every Games since 2000 with the exception of 2004 in Athens. Playing at home in Los Angeles adds a dimension to every session that goes beyond the game itself.
Can we attend both basketball and gymnastics at Crypto.com?+
Yes. Both sports run at Crypto.com during the Games. Groups combining basketball and gymnastics share the same venue, the same hotel placement, and the same transfer routing. Xenia builds the schedule around both sports from the start so nothing has to be reboooked or rerouted between sessions.
What is the best area to stay for basketball at LA 2028?+
Downtown LA hotels offer the shortest event-day transfer to Crypto.com and put you within a short walk of the best pre-game dining in the city. For groups attending events at other venues across the metro, Downtown gives reasonable access to SoFi, the Rose Bowl, and Long Beach without requiring a hotel change. Xenia selects based on your full event schedule.
