Want to attend the Summer Olympics?
Californians can soon register to get tickets for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Organizers recently announced that registration for the LA28 ticket draw opens on Wednesday, Jan. 14, in 2026.
It’s the third time the city will be hosting the Olympics, and the first time in 32 years a United States city will host the Games are being held in the United States.
Here’s what to know:
When and where are 2028 Summer Olympic Games?
Los Angeles will host the Olympic Games from July 14 through July 30, 2028.
Athletic events will take place in several cities across the greater Los Angeles area, including Carson, Long Beach, Anaheim, Arcadia, Pomona, San Clemente and South El Monte.
However, two Olympic sports — canoe slalom and softball — will be hosted in Oklahoma City in 2028, according to event organizers.
How can I register for LA Olympics ticket draw?
The first step to nabbing a seat at the 2028 Olympic Games is to register for the ticket draw.
Once the registration window opens on Wednesday, Jan. 14, anyone can create a profile and sign up for free to be entered into the drawing, according to the LA28 website.
Once you’ve registered for the ticket draw, you’ll be notified through email if you received a time slot for one of the ticket drops for all Olympic Games sports, organizers said.
According to the LA28 website, the ticket draw will be a “random assignment of time slots to purchase tickets.”
Oklahoma City and Los Angeles-area residents who register for the ticket draw will have the opportunity to get time slots “during a special early-access window,” organizers said.
If you’re lucky enough to land a time slot, you can purchase tickets during that assigned time.
Organizers said Olympics tickets will be on sale sometime in 2026, while Paralympic tickets will start being available in 2027.
