The 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, set to take place in Los Angeles, promise to be a historic event for the city and the global sporting community. Marking the third time Los Angeles will host the Olympic Games—previously held in 1932 and 1984—this will be the first time the city welcomes the Paralympic Games.
The LA28 Games, which are independently operated by a privately funded, rely on revenue from corporate partners, licensing agreements, hospitality, ticketing programs, and a significant contribution from the International Olympic Committee.
