Flag football will make its first appearance at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, with matches scheduled from July 15 through July 22 at BMO Stadium in Exposition Park.
A Historic Venue for a New Sport
The stadium, completed in 2018, holds 22,000 spectators and serves as the home ground for MLS side Los Angeles FC and NWSL club Angel City FC, giving it a strong local identity while also attracting national attention.
In March 2026 the venue hosted the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, where NFL stars such as Tom Brady, Saquon Barkley, CeeDee Lamb and Rob Gronkowski took the field, underscoring the sport’s growing profile and the excitement surrounding its Olympic debut.
Ticket acquisition follows a lottery system managed through Tickets.LA28.org, with winners receiving specific time slots, and the stadium’s location just 14.8 miles from Los Angeles International Airport and 15 miles from the UCLA Athletes Village makes it accessible via the Metro E Line, J Line, and several bus routes including 40, 81, 102 and 204.
Beyond flag football, BMO Stadium will also stage Olympic lacrosse from July 24 to 29, continuing its tradition of multi‑sport use that has included major concerts and other international competitions, reinforcing its role as a versatile hub for the Games.
