World Athletics and the LA28 Organising Committee have released an updated timetable for the athletics events at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The schedule includes minor adjustments to several events, building on the framework announced last November. It aims to balance athlete needs with broadcast and operational requirements.
On February 7, 2026, World Athletics and the LA28 Organising Committee announced the updated athletics competition timetable for the Olympic Games in Los Angeles 2028. This detailed schedule, available by session and event on the LA28 website, refines the initial framework released in November 2024.
Key changes include small refinements to the women's 400m and 400m hurdles schedules. Additionally, round one of the men's 1500m has shifted from the morning to the afternoon session on day two of competition, which falls on Sunday, July 16, 2028. Minor start-time adjustments were made in consultation with broadcast partners to optimize global viewing.
The timetable was developed through close collaboration among World Athletics, LA28, and key stakeholders. It considers athlete preparation and recovery, competition presentation, venue operations, and international broadcast needs. This approach ensures a high-quality experience for participants and audiences alike.
World Athletics emphasized ongoing coordination with LA28 leading up to the Games. The organization aims to deliver the best possible athletics program, enhancing enjoyment for athletes, fans, and broadcasters. No major structural changes were noted, focusing instead on fine-tuning for practicality and accessibility.
