Softball will be reintroduced at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles after it was not contested at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Softball was on the Olympic program from 1996 to 2008. It was introduced at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and was removed from the program for 2012 and 2016, but was added for a one-off appearance, along with baseball, for the 2020 Summer Olympics (which was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).[1]
