The McClendon Whitewater Center at Riversport in Oklahoma City hosts all Olympic canoe slalom competition for LA28, staging eight sessions between Friday, July 14 and Saturday, July 22, 2028. The venue is a purpose-built whitewater course, part of the wider Riversport Adventures complex on the Oklahoma River, and is already used for national and international paddling competitions outside the Games. Its artificial channel allows for controlled, repeatable rapids, which is standard for modern canoe slalom venues and lets organizers stage a full Olympic program away from a natural river.

Canoe slalom competition typically runs through a sequence of heats, semifinals and finals across the men’s and women’s kayak and canoe categories, with paddlers navigating a gated course against the clock while incurring time penalties for missed or touched gates. With eight sessions spread over more than a week, spectators can expect the schedule to move through qualification rounds early on and progress toward medal finals later in the program, though the exact stage of competition for any given session should be checked against the schedule listed below.

Morning starts dominate the listed program, with most sessions beginning at 9:00 AM and one at 10:00 AM, which is typical for slalom events that benefit from calmer conditions and daylight. Attending in person means watching boats navigate a fixed set of gates on a compact, visible course, a format that tends to reward close-up viewing of technique and timing rather than distance coverage. Those planning a visit should consult the session list below for the specific date and time that matches the round of competition they want to see.
