Welcome
Your front-row guide to the Games by the sea
When the Olympic and Paralympic Games return to Southern California in 2028, Long Beach becomes one of the busiest host cities outside Los Angeles. Water polo and handball begin on July 12 — two days before the Opening Ceremony — and competition in the city continues almost to the final day.
This site brings everything into one place: what’s on, where it happens, when to go, how to get there and what to do between sessions. We are an independent guide, so for tickets and official announcements we always point you to LA28.
