LA28 is the Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2028, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation tasked with delivering the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. Established following Los Angeles being awarded the Games by the International Olympic Committee in 2017, LA28 is responsible for planning, organizing, and executing an event that leverages Southern California's existing world-class infrastructure and vibrant community[1][3].
Since its inception, LA28 has taken a pioneering approach by utilizing an unprecedented 11-year planning window, allowing it to build an efficient, sustainable, and community-focused Games. The organization has unveiled a distinctive emblem featuring interchangeable "A"s in "LA," reflecting the diversity and creativity of Los Angeles, a design created in collaboration with athletes, artists, and celebrities[3][7]. LA28 has also established strong commercial partnerships and launched a comprehensive commercial program to support the Games[3].
A key achievement of LA28 is its commitment to sustainability and community impact, as outlined in its 2025 Impact and Sustainability Plan. This plan aims to expand economic opportunities, promote youth sports, and foster environmental responsibility. Notably, LA28 plans to use existing venues exclusively, purchase 100% renewable electricity for its venues, and operate a transit-first Games with zero- or near-zero-emission buses. It will also create an LA28 Community Resilience Fund to support local nonprofits and initiatives like urban heat mitigation through tree planting[2][4][5].
Governed by a volunteer board including prominent figures from sports, business, and entertainment, LA28 embodies a collaborative spirit, engaging athletes and the local community to ensure a lasting legacy beyond the Games themselves[4]. Currently, LA28 is advancing its preparations, securing venue agreements, releasing tickets and hospitality packages, and continuing to build momentum as it approaches the traditional seven-year lead-up to the event in 2028[3][6].
