2028 Summer Olympics

The 2028 Summer Paralympics, also known as the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Paralympic Games, and branded as LA28, will be the 18th edition of the Summer Paralympic Games, an international multi-sport parasports event governed by the International Paralympic Committee. The Games are scheduled to take place from August 15 to August 27, 2028, in Los Angeles, California, United States.

Marking Los Angeles' first time as the host of the Paralympics, the Games will be the first Summer Paralympics in the United States since the 1996 edition in Atlanta, Georgia, and the third overall. The Games will include the debut of paraclimbing as an event.

Bids

[edit]

As part of a formal agreement between the International Paralympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee first established in 2001, the winner of the bid for the Summer Olympics also holds the Summer Paralympics.[4]

In response to concerns over a number of cities withdrawing in the bid process of the 2022 Winter Olympics and 2024 Summer Olympics, a process to award the 2024 and 2028 Games simultaneously to the final two cities in the running to the 2024 Summer Olympics—Los Angeles and Paris—was approved at an Extraordinary IOC Session on July 11, 2017, in Lausanne.[5] Paris was understood to be the preferred host for the 2024 Games. On July 31, 2017, the IOC announced Los Angeles as the sole candidate for the 2028 Games, leaving Paris to be confirmed as hosts for the 2024 Games. Both decisions were ratified at the 131st IOC Session on September 13, 2017.[6]

Development and preparations

[edit]

Venues

[edit]

The Paralympic venue plan was announced on June 3, 2025, using most of the same venues as the Olympics.[7] The opening ceremony will take place at SoFi Stadium (named "2028 Stadium" during the Games), while the closing ceremony will take place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.[8][9]

Unlike the Olympics, SoFi Stadium will not be used for swimming, as it will be needed by the Los Angeles Chargers and Rams for their NFL preseason games; swimming will take place at a temporary stadium on the grounds of the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center (which will host artistic swimming and water polo during the Olympics) instead. Some Paralympic athletes expressed disappointment at the decision, believing that it created an inequity between the Olympics and Paralympics.[10]

The Games

[edit]

Qualification

[edit]

Sports

[edit]

The program for the 2028 Summer Paralympics will feature a record 560 events in 23 sports—an increase of 11 events and one sport over 2024. It will feature the 22 sports contested in 2024, as well as the Paralympic debut of sport climbing (paraclimbing).[11][12] IPC president Andrew Parsons stated that LA28 would be the most gender-balanced Paralympics in its history; there will be an increase of 12 women's events (a record 247) and three mixed/open events over 2024, and a decrease of four men's events. With these changes, a record 17 sports will have full gender parity, an increase of six over 2024.[12]

A record 33 sports applied for consideration by the IPC, including bids to reinstate CP football (formerly football 7-a-side) and sailing, and bids for arm wrestling, beach paravolley, paraclimbing, para dance sport, golf, karate, powerchair football, para surfing, and wheelchair handball as new sports.[13] The IPC shortlisted paraclimbing and para surfing for consideration by the LA28 organizing committee,[11] with paraclimbing being selected as the 23rd sport in June 2024.[14]

Emblem

[edit]

The emblems for the 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympics were unveiled on September 1, 2020, featuring the characters "LA" and "28" in a stacked layout. The "A" in "LA" is designed to be interchangeable, with variations created in collaboration with local athletes, artists, and celebrities.[18][19][20] Among the larger suite of logo variants are versions designed in collaboration with Paralympic athletes, including Scout Bassett (which is inspired by the infinity symbol),[21] Ezra Frech, Lex Gillette, Jamal Hill, and Oz Sanchez.[18][19][20]
