This recent reveal from the Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (LA28), brings Long Beach’s total sporting events to 18 – the most outside of the host City of Los Angeles.

While the City is wholeheartedly embracing the 2028 Games, fueled by the excitement for this once in a generation opportunity, it is simultaneously committed to being financially responsible. This has been demonstrated by working alongside the LA28 team that has designed a Games Plan to fit events into existing world-class venues in already established competition zones in Long Beach. This strategy does a few things: makes the overall experience for athletes and spectators much better; keeps additional expenses and impact lower; and welcomes more visitors, contributing to the local economy and bringing more revenue to Long Beach.

The world is coming to Long Beach and we are getting ready – connecting with community, creating partnerships and enhancing our infrastructure for the benefit of our community for decades to come.
