Los Angeles had originally bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Following multiple withdrawals, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Games to Los Angeles and Paris as the two remaining candidates; Paris was preferred as host for 2024, while Los Angeles agreed to host in 2028. Los Angeles was formally awarded the Games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on September 13, 2017. They will mark the fifth Summer Olympics, and ninth Olympics overall to be hosted by the United States. Los Angeles has previously hosted the Summer Olympics in 1932 and 1984, and will become the third three-time host city after London (1908, 1948, 2012) and Paris (1900, 1924, 2024), and the first non-European city to do so. These will be the first Summer Olympics held under the IOC presidency of Kirsty Coventry.
After debuting in 2020 as optional events, skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing have been promoted to the Summer Olympics' core event program. The Games will feature the debut of flag football and squash as optional sports, joined by the return of baseball/softball, cricket (for the first time since 1900) and lacrosse (for the first time as a medal event since 1908).

====Bus fleet expansion==== While many venues are located near existing rail lines, Los Angeles lacks the continuous, high-capacity subway system that supported past Olympic Games.<ref name=":1" /> Consequently, buses are expected to serve as the primary mode of transportation for most spectators. Los Angeles Metro and Olympic organizers estimate that an additional 2,700 buses will be needed, effectively doubling the current Metro fleet of 2,320 vehicles. Metro has requested that transit agencies nationwide donate buses near the end of their usable life for temporary Olympic service, potentially adding hundreds of vehicles.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Klinefelter |first=Tristan |date=July 8, 2025 |title=CATA donates 10 buses to Los Angeles Metro ahead of 2028 Olympics |url=https://www.wtaj.com/news/local-news/cata-donates-10-buses-to-los-angeles-metro-ahead-of-2028-olympics/ |access-date=January 2, 2026 |work=WTAJ-TV |pages=}}</ref> Costs are estimated at $700 million to $1 billion, and through the Vision 2028 plan, Metro is seeking federal grants and coordinating post-Games resale of buses to other cities.<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 3, 2024 |title=L.A. officials worried about transportation ahead of 2028 Olympic Games |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/04/03/los-angeles-2028-olympic-games-transportation |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240712174317/https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/04/03/los-angeles-2028-olympic-games-transportation |archive-date=July 12, 2024 |access-date=July 12, 2024 |work=Sports Business Journal}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/california/newsletter/2024-04-12/buses-helped-eliminate-olympic-traffic-last-time-can-they-again-essential-california|title=L.A. buses helped eliminate 1984 Olympic traffic.

The City of Los Angeles is the lead public guarantor, committing to spend up to $250 million to cover shortfalls. In 2016, the California legislature took action so that the Governor is empowered to negotiate the next $250 million in public backup, but only after the city backup money has been used first. LA 2024 also agreed to purchase a wide range of insurance policies to cover financial relief in the event of natural disaster, terrorism, event cancellation, as well as reduced ticket sales. The Games are expected to generate as much as they cost, with $2.5 billion coming in through sponsorships and nearly $2 billion earned through ticket sales. Average ticket prices for the Games will range between $13 and $457 (in 2016 dollars).<ref name="California Legislative Analyst's Office, March 2017"/> Over $2 billion in sponsorships were secured by late 2025, surpassing the 2024 Paris Games more than two years early.<ref name="LATimes"/>
===Security=== Security will be handled by the U.S. federal government with an agreement signed by the Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (LAOCOG) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in February 2020, but it will not be involved in the Games' funding, covering only the aforementioned security costs.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/story/2020-02-18/president-trump-2028-olympics-la-los-angeles.html|title=President Trump confirms government will assist L.A. during 2028 Olympics|work=Los Angeles Times|date=February 2020|access-date=February 18, 2020|archive-date=February 6, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220206065611/https://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/story/2020-02-18/president-trump-2028-olympics-la-los-angeles|url-status=live}}</ref>
The Olympics are the second to take place in the United States since the September 11 attacks in 2001. Like the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, which took place five months after that attack, the United States Department of Homeland Security will designate the Olympics a National Special Security Event (NSSE). Due to this designation, the United States Secret Service will be in charge of security and will head a single chain of command.<ref name="California Legislative Analyst's Office, March 2017" />
Casey Wasserman has stated that there will be no issues with the federal government on obtaining visas for athletes, security and delivery at the 144th IOC Session, emphasizing that they have received bipartisan support from all previous U.S. presidents, including Donald Trump. LA28 officials met with then President-elect Trump at Mar-a-Lago in January 2025 and his administration pledged to help Los Angeles recover from the wildfires, and hold "the greatest games".<ref>{{cite web | last=Caputo | first=Marc | title=Scoop: Trump pledges to make L.A.

Like the 1984 Summer Olympics, a majority of the 2028 Summer Olympics will be hosted in venues around the Greater Los Angeles area. The city's bid relied primarily on 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. No new permanent venues are being built specifically for the Games. Like the 1984 Summer Games, the Olympic Village will be situated on the University of California, Los Angeles campus, while the University of Southern California will host the Media Village.<ref>{{Cite news |date=July 26, 2021 |title=Alexander: What will the 2028 L.A.

To reduce costs and use more pre-existing facilities, LA28 announced changes to its venue plans in June 2024. The temporary aquatics venue that was scheduled to be built at USC's Dedeaux Field was scrapped, in favor of holding swimming at SoFi Stadium and artistic swimming in Long Beach. Diving was originally set for the historic LA84 Foundation/John C. Argue Swim Stadium (which was built for the 1932 Games) but was later changed (in September 2025) to the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center in Pasadena due to cost and safety concerns.<ref>{{Cite news|title=LA28 Unveils 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Opening and Closing Ceremony Locations|date=September 10, 2025|url=https://la28.org/en/newsroom/la28-and-city-of-los-angeles-confirm-rose-bowl-aquatics-center-to-stage-diving-for-2028-olympic-games.html|access-date=September 18, 2025|work=LA28.org|publisher=Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games|archive-date=September 19, 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250919110618/https://la28.org/en/newsroom/la28-and-city-of-los-angeles-confirm-rose-bowl-aquatics-center-to-stage-diving-for-2028-olympic-games.html|url-status=live}}</ref> With a planned configuration for 38,000 spectators, SoFi Stadium will be the largest swimming venue in Olympic history.

This move aligns with the IOC's broader mission to make the Olympics inclusive for all nations.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Knox |first=Brady |date=2025-03-21 |title=IOC opens door for Russia to return to Olympics after 2024 ban – Washington Examiner |url=https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/sports/3355831/ioc-russia-return-to-olympics-2024-ban/ |access-date=2025-04-03 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Nguyen |first=Danny |date=2025-03-21 |title=Russia could return to the international sports scene, incoming Olympics president says |url=https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/21/russia-olympics-ban-future-027062 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250322133644/https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/21/russia-olympics-ban-future-027062 |url-status=dead |archive-date=22 March 2025 |access-date=2025-04-03 |website=POLITICO |language=en}}</ref> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible" style="width:100%;" |- !

In order to facilitate use of SoFi Stadium for both the opening ceremonies and swimming, the scheduling of swimming and athletics events will be reversed. Athletics events will take place during the first week of the Games instead, during which SoFi Stadium will be reconfigured to uncover the pool in preparation for swimming competition during the second week. This will be the first time since the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City that athletics competitions will take place in the first week of the Games.<ref name="venueplan" /><ref name="venueplan2" /> <section begin="Calendar" /> :''All times and dates use Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7).'' <div align=center> {|class="wikitable" style="margin:0.5em auto; font-size:90%; position:relative; width:100%;" |- |style="width:2.5em; background-color:#00cc33; text-align:center;"|'''OC'''||Opening ceremony |style="width:2.5em; background-color:#3399ff; text-align:center;"|●||Event competitions |style="width:2.5em; background-color:#ffcc00; text-align:center;"|'''1'''||Gold medal events |style="width:2.5em; background-color:#FF8888; text-align:center;"|'''CC'''||Closing ceremony |} {{sticky header}} {|class="wikitable sortable sticky-header-multi" style="margin:0.5em auto; font-size:90%; line-height:1.25em; width:100%; text-align:center;" |- !class="unsortable" style="width:18%;" colspan="2"|July 2028 !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|10th<br />Mon !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|11th<br />Tue !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|12th<br />Wed !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|13th<br />Thu !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|14th<br />Fri !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|15th<br />Sat !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|16th<br />Sun !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|17th<br />Mon !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|18th<br />Tue !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|19th<br />Wed !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|20th<br />Thu !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|21st<br />Fri !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|22nd<br />Sat !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|23rd<br />Sun !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|24th<br />Mon !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|25th<br />Tue !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|26th<br />Wed !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|27th<br />Thu !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|28th<br />Fri !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|29th<br />Sat !class="unsortable" style="width:4%;"|30th<br />Sun !class="unsortable" style="width:6%;"|Events |- |style="text-align:left;" colspan="2"|20px|class=skin-invert Ceremonies||||||||||style="background-color:#00cc33;"|'''OC'''||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||style="background-color:#FF8888;"|'''CC'''||{{N/A}} |-

=== Branding === thumb|205x205px|A reference version of the Games' emblem; the "A" in "LA" is interchanged with a variety of different designs. On September 1, 2020, LAOCOG unveiled the emblem for the 2028 Summer Olympics, featuring the characters "LA" and "28" in a stacked layout. The "A" in "LA" was designed to be interchangeable, with numerous variations created in collaboration with athletes, artists, designers, and celebrities, including Billie Eilish, Lilly Singh, and Reese Witherspoon. Variants have also included designs referencing the 1984 Summer Olympics' "Stars in Motion" emblem, a version featuring the flags of France and the United States used during the Los Angeles handover presentation at the 2024 closing ceremony, and a "Black Mamba"-inspired design paying tribute to basketball player Kobe Bryant (a two-time Olympic gold medalist as member of the U.S. men's team).<ref name="timeout">{{Cite news|url=https://www.timeout.com/los-angeles/news/meet-l-a-s-35-different-logos-for-the-2028-olympic-and-paralympic-games-090120|title=Meet L.A.'s 35 different logos for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games|first=Michael|last=Juliano|magazine=Time Out Los Angeles|location=Los Angeles|date=September 2020 |access-date=April 21, 2021|archive-date=August 8, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210808135039/https://www.timeout.com/los-angeles/news/meet-l-a-s-35-different-logos-for-the-2028-olympic-and-paralympic-games-090120|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-08-22 |title=Unveiled: Official Paralympic emblem for transition from Paris to LA28 |url=https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/unveiled-official-paralympic-emblem-la28 |access-date=2026-02-23 |website=Inside the Games}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Strout |first=Paige |date=August 12, 2024 |title=Vanessa Bryant Designs 2028 L.A.

LAOCOG chair Casey Wasserman stated that the variations were intended to "showcase our community's collective creativity and celebrate the diversity that makes us strong", reflecting a city that "defies a singular identity". Chief marketing officer Amy Gleeson said the emblem was designed to connect with an audience who will be in their 20s and 30s when the Games take place.<ref name="emblem">{{Multiref2|Multiple sources in reference to the emblem:||{{Cite news|date=September 1, 2020|title=L.A. 2028 unveils dynamic Olympics logo, updated by athletes and celeb creators|url=https://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/la-2028-unveils-dynamic-olympics-logo-updated-athletes-and-celeb-creators/2278011|access-date=September 2, 2020|last=Díaz|first=Ann-Christine|magazine=Ad Age|publisher=Crain Communications|location=New York|archive-date=September 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210911022647/https://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/la-2028-unveils-dynamic-olympics-logo-updated-athletes-and-celeb-creators/2278011|url-status=live}}|{{Cite news|title=Athletes, artists and celebrities create unique logos for the 2028 L.A.

On March 28, 2026, LAOCOG unveiled the overall branding elements of the Games, entitled "LA in full bloom", which were designed by Culver City-based agency Koto. The design is inspired by California's "superbloom" phenomenon, featuring 13 different "waves" of flora-inspired designs that can be assembled into looping patterns, reflecting "the people, life, and culture of Los Angeles", and paying homage to the "bold, optimistic, Californian and unapologetically joyful" looks of past Summer Olympics hosted by Los Angeles. The branding utilizes shades taken from Los Angeles's official flower, the Strelitzia (Bird of paradise), including {{color box|#FE7D4B||}} ''poppy'', {{color box|#EA62B6||}} ''scarlet flax'', {{color box|#39BADF||}} ''bluebell'', and {{color box|#81DE71||}} ''sagebrush.''

For the first time in Olympic and Paralympic history, venues will be permitted to carry naming rights during the Games, provided that their naming rights partner is a Worldwide Olympic Partner (WOP) or Founding Partner of LA28. The organising committee also plans to sell naming rights for the temporary venues. Executive director Paul Krekorian commented that the new policy is intended to "ensure the success of the Games while also protecting our taxpayers," while Wasserman expected the new naming rights arrangements to help build a new commercial model for the Olympics, just as Los Angeles had previously done in 1984.<ref name="NYTimes" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=August 14, 2025 |title=LA28 Awards Venue Naming Rights for First Time in Olympic Games History |url=https://la28.org/en/newsroom/la28-awards-venue-naming-rights-for-first-time-in-olympic-games-history.html |website=LA28.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=|title=L.A.
