The phased rollout marks the first time tickets will be available for the 2028 Games, which are expected to bring more than 15,000 athletes and millions of spectators to the Golden State.
“The LA28 Games will be an opportunity to purchase a ticket to history,” said Reynold Hoover, CEO for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. “Whether you’re a local family attending your first Olympic or Paralympic event, or a global traveler joining us for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, there really will be something for everyone across our suite of ticket options and hospitality packages.”
The Olympic Games will run from July 14 through July 30, 2028, followed by the Paralympics from Aug. 15 to Aug. 27. Events will be held at iconic venues including the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, SoFi Stadium, the Rose Bowl, the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area and others across the Southern California area including Long Beach and Orange County.

Los Angeles will become the third city in history to host the Olympics three times, having previously hosted the Games in 1932 and 1984. The only other two cities to do so are London (1908, 1948, 2012) and Paris (1900, 1924, 2024). LA28 will also mark the city’s first time hosting the Paralympics.
Organizers said the 2028 edition will feature a number of firsts — including a higher percentage of women athletes than men, the introduction of new Olympic and Paralympic sports, and the distinction of being the first Games since 1948 to rely entirely on existing or temporary venues, with no new permanent infrastructure planned.
