The Olympic Games are coming back to Los Angeles, and so is baseball, this time on the biggest global stage, at none other than Dodger Stadium. The announcement that Dodger Stadium will host Olympic baseball in 2028 marks a powerful moment for both the city and one of its most iconic landmarks.
Olympic Baseball will debut at Dodger Stadium
For Angelenos, it’s more than just a venue update. It’s a symbol of how deeply the city’s sports culture is woven into its identity. Hosting Olympic baseball at the same field that’s seen World Series titles, record-breaking nights, and generations of fans makes 2028 feel even more personal for L.A.
A Global Stage in the Heart of the City
The choice of Dodger Stadium Olympics venue isn’t just about baseball, it’s about visibility. Los Angeles is putting one of its most recognizable locations at the center of the Olympic spotlight.
Located in downtown L.A., Dodger Stadium offers breathtaking views of the skyline and mountains. A setting that will frame every inning with unmistakable California energy. From longtime Dodgers fans to first-time Olympic visitors, the experience promises to be unforgettable.
Squash at Universal Studios?
Events will stretch from the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area, where 3×3 basketball and modern pentathlon will debut, to Universal Studios in the San Fernando Valley, where squash will be played against a Hollywood backdrop.
USC Sports Center, Peacock Theater, and the Downtown Arena will form the heart of the city’s indoor competition zone, hosting rhythmic gymnastics, boxing, and more. In Carson, the stadium will stage Olympic archery, while Anaheim’s Arena welcomes Olympic volleyball for the first time.
Arcadia’s Santa Anita Park will see the return of equestrian sports, and South El Monte will host shotgun shooting. Even Pomona joins the celebration, bringing cricket (T20) back to the Olympics in a custom-built venue at the fairgrounds.
