  • Additional venues across the greater Los Angeles / Southern California region will host sports — reflecting a broad, region-wide footprint rather than a single “Olympic Park.” LA 2028+2Los Angeles Times+2

Other Venues / Locales

  • A variety of indoor/commercial venues (e.g. convention centers, theaters) may be used for sports such as badminton, fencing, table tennis, judo, taekwondo, weightlifting, wrestling, etc. CBS News+2KCRW+2

  • Regions outside the city proper — including nearby cities/centers in the county or Southern California — may host some events, expanding the Games beyond just Los Angeles itself. LA 2028+2SportsTak+2

🔄 Why the Venue Plan Looks Like This — Key Principles & Changes

  • The organizing committee for 2028 (LA28) is relying heavily on existing stadiums, arenas and facilities — rather than building new venues from scratch — to reduce cost and avoid “white-elephant” infrastructure. SportsTak+2LA 2028+2

  • Because of this, some traditional assumptions have changed: for example, swimming will take place inside an NFL-style stadium (SoFi), instead of a dedicated aquatic center. NBC Sports+2FOX 11 Los Angeles+2

  • The plan spreads events across a wide geographic area — from downtown LA to valley, beach/coast, and other surrounding localities — making the 2028 Olympics a region-wide affair rather than being concentrated in one single “Olympic Park.” LA 2028+2Los Angeles Times+2

  • The schedule has been adjusted to accommodate these venue choices: for example, while swimming is normally early in the Games, for 2028 swimming is planned for the second week; track & field (athletics) is moved to the first week. NBC Sports+2LA 2028+2

⚠️ What’s Still Tentative / Could Change

  • Some indoor sports (especially those requiring convention-center-type spaces or specialized arenas) may still need final confirmation depending on availability and renovation plans. CBS News+2KCRW+2

  • Because the plan uses many existing venues — some of which are used regularly by professional sports or events — scheduling and logistics might shift depending on conflicts, renovations, or other commitments.

  • As of now, some sports may be held outside central Los Angeles — in other Southern California locations — which could affect travel, accommodations, and planning for spectators.
