From the Field to the Court: A Closer Look at the Two Sports Making Their Olympic Debut in 2028 

When the world arrives in Los Angeles for the LA28 Games, Flag Football and Squash will step onto the Olympic stage for the first time in history. Fans of these sports worldwide have already shown their excitement to witness history in 2028, purchasing all the inventory that was made available in Drop 1.  

Both Flag Football and Squash showcase the best of LA, the U.S. and the world. Learn more about these dynamic sports below: 

Flag Football 
Flag Football has grown quickly across youth leagues and community programs over the past decade in the U.S, aided by the National Football League's investment in the fast-paced game.  

During the 1932 Games in Los Angeles, American Tackle Football was showcased as a demonstration sport. Now, almost a century later, LA28 will have the opportunity to give Flag Football that global springboard as an official medal event.  

More than 40 nations compete at the IFAF World Championships each two-year cycle, making it one of the most global additions to the Olympic program. Flag Football offers an intersection between the Olympic Movement and U.S. fandom, with the exciting opportunity for NFL players to compete at the Games. Don't miss your chance to be there in person for history — additional Flag Football inventory has been added to Drop 2, subject to availability on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Squash 
In Los Angeles, Squash has steadily found a dedicated following, supported by local clubs and junior development programs. That local energy mirrors the sport's reach worldwide: Squash is played in roughly 180 countries, and its passionate global fan base has been eager for this moment, competing at the highest level in international events for years ahead of the sport’s upcoming Olympic debut. 

Squash’s glass-walled court gives organizers unique flexibility for staging; the sport has previously been set up at the base of the Pyramids of Giza and inside Grand Central Terminal in New York.  

In a nod to LA's historic film industry, LA28 will host Squash from the Comcast Squash Center at Universal Studios, offering an only-in-L.A. venue experience highlighting the iconic Courthouse Square from “Back to the Future.” Experience this Olympic first by securing Squash tickets while inventory lasts in Drop 2.
