The answer is not only “yes”—it’s already happening.
The United States is set to take center stage once again as the host of the world’s most iconic sporting event. The LA Olympics 2028 will bring the Summer Games back to American soil for the first time in over two decades. And while the excitement around the return of the Olympics is palpable, this opportunity is about much more than medals and athletic glory.
For brands, governments, cities, and cultural institutions, LA28 is a defining moment to engage global audiences through experiential marketing, to innovate through live event production, and to reimagine what it means to activate on the world stage.
In this blog, we’ll explore what the LA Olympics 2028 means for the United States, what makes this particular Games unique, and how Towerhouse Global can help turn the Olympic spotlight into a lasting impression for anyone looking to show up during this historic moment.
America’s Olympic Legacy: A Proud History, A Bright Future
The United States has hosted the Olympics more than any other country, with eight Games (four Summer, four Winter) under its belt. From Los Angeles in 1932 and 1984 to Atlanta in 1996 and Salt Lake City in 2002, the U.S. has proven its ability to welcome the world and stage events that captivate global audiences.
And now, the story continues. In 2028, Los Angeles will host the Summer Olympics for the third time, joining London and Paris as a three-time host city. But LA28 will be different. This won’t just be another iteration of the Olympics—it will be a redefinition of what the Olympic Games can be in the 21st century.
Why LA Was Chosen for the 2028 Olympics
Los Angeles wasn’t just the obvious choice for practical reasons—it was the visionary one.
Here’s why the LA Olympics 2028 made sense for the IOC:
- Existing Infrastructure: No need for massive construction projects. LA already has world-class venues, including SoFi Stadium, Crypto.com Arena, the LA Coliseum, and dozens more.
- Financial Sustainability: LA’s Olympic bid emphasized a low-cost, high-impact model, focused on long-term value and community investment.
- Creative Capital: As the global epicenter of film, entertainment, and innovation, LA brings unmatched storytelling and production capabilities.
- Diverse Culture: LA is a global city. Its diversity reflects the Olympic values of unity and inclusion, making it the perfect host for a truly international event.
More Than Sports: LA28 Will Be a Global Cultural Experience
The Olympics have evolved. Today’s audience doesn’t just want to watch the Games—they want to be immersed in them. They want to feel part of something greater. That’s why experiential marketing is going to be one of the most important strategies for brands participating in LA28.
Imagine walking through the streets of downtown LA and encountering:
- A pop-up training facility where fans can test their skills against Olympians
- A virtual reality pavilion where visitors from around the world experience the Games in 360 degrees
- A fully branded hospitality safehouse where athletes, media, and influencers connect
- Augmented reality scavenger hunts connecting iconic LA landmarks with Olympic stories
These aren’t just marketing tactics. They’re experiences—and they’re what today’s consumers remember.
The Role of Live Event Production at LA28
With dozens of venues, hundreds of cultural activations, and millions of in-person visitors expected, live event production will be the backbone of the LA Olympics 2028.
Producing events at this scale—and across a sprawling, complex city like Los Angeles—requires:
- Deep logistical knowledge of the local landscape
- Experience navigating permitting, security, and public spaces
- Creative and technical skill to execute events with global visibility
- Connections with venues, talent, and vendors that only seasoned locals have
From opening ceremonies to brand activations, from hospitality houses to media hubs—every touchpoint during the Olympics is a live production, and the expectations have never been higher.

What LA28 Means for the Future of Olympic Hosting in the U.S.
The success of the LA Olympics 2028 could set the stage for even more Games in the United States. Already, Salt Lake City is a front-runner to host another Winter Olympics, possibly as soon as 2034. If LA28 delivers—on sustainability, inclusivity, cultural engagement, and economic impact—the IOC will be more inclined to return again and again.
It’s not hard to imagine future Olympics rotating regularly through U.S. cities that have the infrastructure and appetite to host. But the bar is high—and LA28 is the city’s (and the country’s) moment to prove that it can host the most dynamic, inclusive, and impactful Games in modern history.
Final Thoughts: The Olympics Are Coming Home
So, will the United States ever host the Olympics again? Yes—and it’s happening in 2028 in Los Angeles.
But the question brands and organizations should be asking now is: Are we ready to show up? Are we ready to activate?

Through strategic experiential marketing and expert live event production, brands have the opportunity to create Olympic memories that live far beyond the Closing Ceremony.
