LA28 releases soccer schedule for 2028 Olympic Games, with matches coast to coast

"The soccer competition, which will feature 12 women's teams and eight men's teams for the first time, has the longest competition window of any sport in Olympic history because the International Olympic Committee Executive Board wanted to give each team two extra rest days throughout the tournament."

"Each team will have two days of rest between group stage games and three days between the final group game and the quaterfinal rounds. The men will begin their knockout round games on July 20 while the women start quarterfinal play on July 21, including one women's quarterfinal match at the Rose Bowl."

"San Diego's SnapDragon Stadium will have the most matches of any site with 11. In addition to three days of women's group stage games, the home of San Diego State football, San Diego FC and San Diego Wave FC will host a women's quarterfinal July 21, men's and women's semifinals July 24 and both bronze medal matches."

LA28 announced the Olympic soccer schedule with competitions starting July 10, preceding the opening ceremony by four days. The tournament features 12 women's teams and 8 men's teams competing across six preliminary sites including New York, Columbus, Nashville, St. Louis, San José, and San Diego. This marks the first time both tournaments feature these team counts. The International Olympic Committee extended the competition window to provide each team two additional rest days throughout the tournament. Teams receive two days rest between group stage games and three days between final group games and quarterfinals. Men's knockout rounds begin July 20, women's quarterfinals July 21. The Rose Bowl hosts five matches including semifinals and gold medal games. San Diego's SnapDragon Stadium hosts the most matches with 11 total.
