NAVIGATING THE LA28 GAMES

LA28 Olympic and Paralympic venues are located in 17 zones in the Greater Los Angeles area and seven around the United States. Zones are geographic areas containing one or more LA28 venues. They provide a simple way for fans to understand where competitions will take place and what’s around them. Whether you’re trying to decide which sessions to attend or preparing to register for the LA28 Ticket Draw,* this page can help you plan with confidence.

PLAN SESSIONS BY ZONE 

Searching for sessions within the same zone helps you maximize your experience. Imagine your perfect day at the 2028 Olympics watching Judo at the LA Convention Center and then Artistic Gymnastics at the DTLA Arena—all within the DTLA Zone. If you want to explore multiple zones in one day, look for morning and evening sessions to allow for plenty of time to move throughout the city.

As a Worldwide Partner of the LA28 Games, Airbnb provides a variety of accommodation options for visitors around the LA28 Games footprint. Airbnb accommodations will be available for booking starting in July 2026.
