I am happy that  and  both earned their quotas via a W instead of having to put their faith in a tie-breaker system.

BTW, Team  vs. San Francisco today at 3:00 Eastern, ESPN.  https://www.mlb.com/news/team-usa-giants-exhibition-game
 
As far as LA28 is concerned...
 
We're already qualified by being host country.
The top two teams (besides us) from the WBC will qualify.
Two more come from Premier12 in November 2027.
The final team comes from a final OQT in 2028-ish.
 
 

Rugby should not start this early, regardless.  Nobody should be eliminated from medal contention before the opening ceremony, and yet most rugby teams were/will be.  

Trying to decide how to balance 'I want to go to the Games' with 'I want to be at home watching all the games'.  I imagine we'll end up in LA for some of it and combine it with some area tourism.  (Never made it to California before.)

I am in Southern California, where I also teach.   Mad for the Olympics and super-crazed for them to be here in 2028.  These games will be fun too.   I don't post much but pleased to have my status raised to "senior member".. 

Additional venues have been announced for Football (Soccer).
 
The preliminary and knockout stages will be held at:
New York Stadium in the New York Zone, stadium to be completed in 2027  Columbus Stadium in the Columbus Zone  Nashville Stadium in the Nashville Zone St. Louis Stadium in the St. Louis Zone San José Stadium in the San José Zone San Diego Stadium in the San Diego Zone  
Final matches will be held at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles.
 
The schedule for both the women’s and men’s Football (Soccer) tournaments, including the dates and match distribution per stadium, will be announced before the first ticket drop in April 2026.

Currently in the queue to sign up for a slot to buy tix for LA28!  Anyone else in the queue?

It's a pity W rugby sevens are on days -2 and -1. M tournament would be much more interesting for me. In Paris, it was the biggest fun before the opening ceremony. But this LA schedule is expected, US is much better in W Sevens.

First step done: Get it all into one Excel file that you can now filter and sort if desired.  More to come.

I am so excited for this.  @clemsonbeav, @rafalgorka this is what we live for.

Probably will just be manual edits.

78 events.

With these ticketing news i think we may get our detailed events schedule quickly - early 2026 i guess. Some Excel work to do for you guys (with a little help of ChatGPT) @clemsonbeav @esube

While my head was turned, finally the mountain bike venue was announced:
 
https://www.singletracks.com/mtb-trails/the-2028-olympic-mountain-bike-course-will-be-located-at-industry-hills/
 
 
This is much closer to downtown LA than Bonelli park (the previously presumed location) would be.  I don't know this particular location, but it is a very hilly area generally so could be a good choice.
 
 

An amazing achievement!!!  More kudos @clemsonbeav.
 
As for the more detailed schedules, in looking back at my own versions from Paris, the events schedule was in place by August of 2022 (and it had events included).  I went to the federation websites to get the within-event timings (e.g. on the Athletics Day 1 schedule, what was the start time of the M 10000 race).  These were released gradually, through early 2023.   (Rowing, Athletics, Swimming, Cycling, maybe others)  
 
The qualification pairings of the team sports went on through the first half of 2024, from January (Hockey) through June (Men's basketball).  
 
It was pretty unusual for even this bare-bones schedule to be released this early. 

At the request of absolutely nobody, here is a daily schedule with events posted side by side.  I find this format useful for putting together my obsessive TV/streaming schedule.  Note that I have sorted them by surface, so that (for example) big air skiing and big air snowboarding are both listed under BA.  Corrections very welcome!! thanks.

This is so great. Thanks @clemsonbeav.  I wish I had thought of using AI for this,  even with all the setup it no doubt saved time over doing it by hand.   You are to be congratulated.
 
 

It does not add very much, but it has the start and (scheduled!) finish times, side by side, so that you can tell what events are on at the same time, and so how many devices you need to watch all the things you want to watch.   Plus colors!   Mostly it's just fun to put it together.
