Los Angeles Olympic 2028 Complete Schedule

When Are the LA28 Olympics?

The LA28 Olympic Games will take place from July 14 to July 30, 2028.

Los Angeles will host the Summer Olympics for the third time after previously hosting the Games in 1932 and 1984.

One important feature of the LA28 calendar is that not every Olympic competition starts after the Opening Ceremony. Selected sports begin competition several days earlier.

The daily competition schedule therefore begins on July 10, 2028, designated as Day -4.

The Games then move through Day -3, Day -2, Day -1 and Day 0 before reaching Day 1 on July 15.

Major Features of the LA28 Olympic Schedule

The 2028 Games have several unusual scheduling features.

Athletics Moves to the First Week

LA28 has moved Athletics to the first week of the Olympic competition schedule.

Athletics will be centered at the LA Memorial Coliseum.

This is a significant change compared with the scheduling pattern used at many recent Summer Olympics.

Swimming Moves to the Second Week

Swimming will take place during the second week of the Games at 2028 Stadium.

This creates a distinctive schedule in which athletics dominates the first week while swimming becomes a major focus during the second week.

First Medal at Venice Beach

The first Olympic medal of LA28 is scheduled to be awarded in Women’s Triathlon at Venice Beach on Day 1.

Final Olympic Champions in Swimming

The final Olympic champions of LA28 are scheduled to be crowned in Swimming on Day 16, before the Closing Ceremony.

---

LA28 Cricket Schedule

Cricket is one of the biggest attractions of the LA28 Olympic program.

The sport returns to the Olympic Games after more than a century.

LA28 Athletics Schedule

Athletics is one of the centerpiece sports of the Olympic Games.

At LA28, athletics will take place during the first week of competition.

---

LA28 Swimming Schedule

LA28 Olympic Schedule in India Time

For Indian sports fans, LA28 events will generally be shown at times that are significantly later than the local Los Angeles schedule because Los Angeles uses Pacific Time while India follows Indian Standard Time.

For individual events, the safest approach is to convert the officially published Pacific Time into IST using the event’s actual date.

An India-focused schedule should ideally display:

Information	Example
Date	July 15, 2028
Sport	Triathlon
Event	Women’s Triathlon
Venue	Venice Beach
Local Time	Pacific Time
India Time	IST
Status	Medal Event

This will be particularly useful for Indian viewers following cricket, badminton, hockey, athletics, wrestling, shooting and other Olympic sports.

How the LA28 Olympic Schedule Is Organized

It is useful for finding:

• Morning sessions
• Afternoon sessions
• Evening sessions
• Preliminary rounds

The By Event schedule is designed for finding a specific Olympic event.

Examples include:

• Athletics events

• Venue details
• Competition sessions
• Football kickoff times
