Last Chance to Register for the First LA28 Ticket Draw

St. Louis City SC News Release


There are two days left to register for a chance to secure a spot in the first LA28 Ticket Draw* ahead of tickets for all Olympic sports going on sale in early April. With two teams from the 2026 World Baseball Classic qualifying for LA28 and recent updates to the Olympic Football (Soccer) schedule, fans have more clarity than ever to plan their ticket purchases.

Since the LA28 Ticket Draw registration opened in January, more than 5 million fans from 197 countries and territories have registered, reflecting strong global demand to experience the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games in person.

The Stage for the Americas is Set for the LA28 Baseball Tournament

The 2026 World Baseball Classic from March 5-17 not only served as the initial Olympic qualifying event for Baseball, but it also marked the first Olympic qualifier for any of the sports featured in the 2028 program. Both the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, as the two highest ranking teams from the Americas, alongside Team USA, which was guaranteed a spot as the host country, secured their National Olympic Committee's (NOC) spot in the lineup for the LA28 Baseball Tournament. Official team sport rosters will be finalized closer to 2028 by the respective NOC, upon recommendation from their national federations, following each team's selection procedure.

As one of the sports added to the LA28 sport program, which was part of a proposal by LA28 in 2023, Baseball is making its highly anticipated Olympic return in 2028 for the first time since Tokyo 2020. The six-team tournament will be held at the iconic Dodger Stadium in the DTLA Zone, July 13-19, 2028. Following the results of the World Baseball Classic, the remaining three coveted spots will be earned through two additional international tournaments in 2027 and 2028.

Fans can follow their favorite Olympic sports' LA28 qualification process, as events will continue from now until just weeks before the LA28 Olympic Opening Ceremony.

LA28 Football (Soccer) Tournament Dates Confirmed

The LA28 Football (Soccer) Tournament will start on July 10, 2028, four days ahead of the Olympic Opening Ceremony. This extended match schedule follows the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board and will provide each team with two extra rest days throughout the tournament compared to previous Olympic Games.

Group stage and quarterfinal matches will take place in seven cities across the U.S., bringing the excitement of the LA28 Olympic Games coast to coast, with the men's and women's teams advancing from east to west throughout the duration of the Games as the tournament progresses. The two additional rest days, made possible by the extended competition window, are scheduled after the group stage and quarterfinal matches to allow additional recovery time for players as teams advance toward the final matches at Rose Bowl Stadium in the Pasadena Zone.
