LA28 Tickets Surpass Six Million, Next Sale 2027

5 sourcesUpdated Aug 21, 2026

Ticket sales for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics have surpassed 6 million, with organizers calling the event the biggest sporting event in history and planning a record 353 medal events. The next public sale is scheduled for 2027, and LA28 is moving to a first-come, first-served system with expanded inventory and no purchase limits, while requiring an LA28 ID but eliminating draws for 2026. Paralympic tickets will be released in 2027 alongside the launch of an official resale program, with authorized channels like AXS and Eventim for secure transactions. The ticket program has drawn buyers from 129 countries, and many popular sports such as flag football, lacrosse, softball, and squash sold out in the early windows, with Oklahoma City hosting some events. LA28 emphasizes broad accessibility, lifting caps on the number of tickets and expanding inventory across all sports ahead of the Games. The move to a multi-phase, ticketed model aims to sustain momentum into 2027 as the event approaches.

Hyrox eyes Olympic spot for 2032 Games

Hyrox has exploded from around 650 competitors at its first event to more than a million participants across 35-plus countries, with rapid growth in Asia, including India, and world championships involving 101 countries. Organizers say the eight-station, one-kilometer-per-segment format gained legitimacy after World Triathlon approved it as Hyathlon, with a target to enter the Olympic program in 2032 or 2036.

Athens' Panathenaic Stadium, rebuilt for the 1896 revival and fashioned from pristine marble, is undergoing its first comprehensive cleaning in more than a century ahead of major events including the 2028 Olympics, with crews using controlled water spray and steam to remove dirt, pollen, and chewing gum while preserving the marble’s historic shine. The effort aims to reveal the stadium’s original beauty as a symbol of the Olympic movement, emphasizing the wear from weather and millions of visitors and highlighting the venue’s role in the Olympic flame handover and broader commemorations.
