LA28 confirmed on Thursday that the Los Angeles Rams’ home field of SoFi Stadium and L.A. Memorial Coliseum and will serve as the official venues for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
“The venues selected for the 2028 Opening and Closing Ceremonies will highlight Los Angeles’s rich sporting history and cutting-edge future, showcasing the very best that LA has to offer on the world stage,” LA28 Chairperson and President Casey Wasserman said.
“These two extraordinary venues will create an unforgettable experience, welcoming fans from across the globe to an Olympic and Paralympic Games like never before and concluding what will go down as one of the most incredible Games in history.”
The Olympic Opening Ceremony will be shared between the LA Memorial Coliseum and SoFi Stadium on July 14, 2028. The Coliseum is set to become the first venue in history to host events for three Olympic Games, while SoFi Stadium will host its first Olympic Games less than eight years after opening in September 2020.
The use of both venues is to accommodate the unique scheduling adjustment for the 2028 edition of the Games, with Athletics moved to the first week and Swimming to the second.
“Sports has the power to inspire and unite people of all backgrounds, generations, and experiences, and the Olympic and Paralympic Games serve as a model for how this unparalleled platform of sport can bridge the world,” Rams Owner/Chairman Stan Kroenke said.
“When we built our stadium, it was with the vision of transforming Los Angeles and bringing the biggest global events in sports and entertainment to our region. We are honored that the world will come together at our venue and celebrate the Opening Ceremonies for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
The Olympic Closing Ceremony is set to take place on July 30, 2028, at the LA Memorial Coliseum, for one final, unforgettable celebration. The Olympic Closing Ceremony will be a tribute to the spirit of the Games, further solidifying the Olympic Movement into the history of Los Angeles forever.
SoFi Stadium to host Paralympic Opening Ceremony
SoFi Stadium will also host the Paralympic Opening Ceremony on Aug. 15, 2028. The Paralympic Closing Ceremony is set to take place at the LA Memorial Coliseum on Aug. 27, 2028, which will mark the final moments of the LA28 Games.
The LA28 Games won’t impact the Rams’ 2028 season at SoFi Stadium, which will begin two weeks after the Paralympic Closing Ceremony.
