The Opening Ceremony formally marks the start of the LA28 Summer Olympics, combining the parade of nations, official protocol speeches, and elements of artistic performance that introduce the host city to a global audience. Unlike competitive disciplines, this is a single, non-repeating event rather than a series of heats and finals, so there is only one session to plan around rather than a bracket of qualifying and medal rounds.
The schedule below lists one session, held Friday, July 14, 2028, at 5:00 PM at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Ceremonies of this scale typically run for several hours once athlete processions, formal declarations, and performance segments are accounted for, so attendees should expect a full evening commitment rather than a short event.
Because this is the only listed session for the discipline, it functions as the complete program rather than a preliminary stage leading to a later date. Spectators attending should treat it as the sole opportunity to be present for this event within the Games, held at the confirmed venue and city named above.
