Weightlifting at the LA28 Summer Games runs across 2
sessions, Thu, Jul 27 – Sat, Jul 29 2028, at Peacock Theater – Los Angeles
in Los Angeles.
Olympic weightlifting is contested across separate men’s and women’s bodyweight categories, with each athlete given three attempts in the snatch and three in the clean and jerk. The best successful lift in each discipline is combined for a total, and that total determines the ranking within the category. Competitors typically lift in groups based on their entry totals, with the strongest lifters in a category usually appearing in the last group scheduled for that weight class.
The two sessions listed below both take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, on Thursday, July 27 and Saturday, July 29, 2028, each starting at 8:50 PM. A single weightlifting session generally covers one or more bodyweight categories and runs for a couple of hours, encompassing both the snatch and clean and jerk phases for the lifters in that group. The schedule does not indicate which of these two sessions, if either, is a medal final, so check the listing below for category details before choosing.
Because categories and lifting order are announced closer to the Games, spectators should treat both dates as covering weightlifting competition at the same central Los Angeles venue rather than assuming an early or late round based on the date alone.
