Los Angeles 2028 Olympics and Paralympicspublished at 22:34 British Summer Time 11 August
When and where will events take place?
The Los Angeles Olympics opening ceremony will take place on 14 July 2028, with the closing ceremony just over two weeks later, on 30 July. The Paralympic opening ceremony will be on 15 August, and the closing event will be on 27 August.
In all, more than 50 Olympic and Paralympic sports will be contested across more than 800 events.
The 2028 Games marks the third time LA has hosted the Olympics, and organisers - who have been eager to emphasise their sustainability credentials - have said no new, permanent constructions will be needed for the event.
Instead, dozens of existing sites have been earmarked for use, including the home stadium of football team LA Galaxy and the LA Memorial Coliseum, which will host the athletics events as it did in LA's two previous Olympics.
Perhaps unsurprisingly in a city that is famous for its palm-fringed shoreline, beach volleyball is expected to be hosted on an actual beach - something that was not possible in Paris this year.
But some venues will need to be adapted. For example, the SoFi Stadium, as it is currently known, in the suburb of Inglewood, will be converted to host the swimming races, with a resplendent Olympic pool added.
Meanwhile, student housing at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will be turned into the athletes' village for the summer, and provide training facilities.
