Long Beach will host 11 Olympic events in the summer of 2028, the Los Angeles organizing committee announced Tuesday morning.
The 2028 Los Angeles Olympicswill span as far north as the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area and as south as Trestles Beach in San Clemente, with more events scattered in cities like Pomona and El Monte. Long Beach is hosting the most events outside of Los Angeles, at venues like Alamitos Beach, the Convention Center, Marine Stadium and temporary sites.
The 2028 Olympic Games will take place July 14 through July 30, 2028, and the 2028 Paralympic Games will take place Aug. 15 through Aug. 27, 2028.

We are thrilled and honored to have Beach Volleyball join the list of acclaimed sporting events to be held on our iconic coastline, from Sailing to Water Polo, and we are excited to open our doors to the world and showcase the culture, diversity and spirit of our community,” said Mayor Rex Richardson in a public statement. “This presents a generational economic opportunity for our city, and we look forward to working with LA28 as we continue to prepare for this monumental experience.”
