Organizers of the Los Angeles 2028 olympics on Monday released the first look at the competition schedule, highlighting an historic reshuffling of key events and the most ambitious sports line-up in games history.

The announcement comes as the city marks three years to go until the opening ceremony which is scheduled to take place on July 14, 2028, at 8:pm Eastern or 5:00 ‘o’ clock pacific time, split between the La Memorial Coliseum and Sofi Stadium in Inglewood.

In a notable departure from tradition, the LA28 schedule swaps the usual order of athletics and swimming competitions with track and field events to open the games in the first week, and swimming moving to the second week, culminating in its finale on the penultimate day at Sofi Stadium.

The first athlete to win gold at LA28 will be crowned at Venice Beach in the triathlon event, while the marathon will close out athletics on the final weekend. 

Day 15 is expected to be the busiest for medal events, with 16 team sport finals and 19 individual finals taking place.

The closing ceremony is scheduled for July 30 at the La Memorial Coliseum.
