Los Angeles is officially three years out from the Olympic Games and to mark the occasion, organizers on Monday released a preview of the competition schedule.
Track and field will dominate the first week of the Games at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum, and swimming will close it out at SoFi Stadium.
It's a switch-up from how things have historically been done. Typically, track and field athletics are in the second week of the 2028 Games. Some things aren't changing though — the marathon will still take place on the competition's final weekend, starting on the Venice Beach boardwalk.
The rest of the Games will take place across the region, temporarily transforming many of Los Angeles's most historic and treasured locations.

Gymnastics will be held at Crypto.com Arena in downtown L.A. Basketball will be at Inglewood Dome. Beach volleyball will take over Alamitos Beach. The cycling road race will start on the Venice Beach boardwalk.
Sepulveda Basin will host skateboarders. Trestles Beach, which stretches from Orange County into San Diego County, will hold the surfing competition. The L.A. Convention Center downtown will have fencing, table tennis, taekwondo, judo and wrestling.
Baseball will, of course, be at Dodger Stadium.
A couple events will be as far away as Oklahoma. Softball, canoe and kayaking competitions will take place in Oklahoma City's Whitewater Center and Softball Park.
It's the third time L.A. will host the Olympics. Opening ceremonies will kick off at L.A. Memorial Coliseum and SoFi Stadium at 5 p.m., July 14, 2028.

Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
