The International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed the dates for Cricket’s return to the LA Olympics 2028, which comes after the International Olympic Committee revealed that the cricket games at LA28 will run from July 12 and 29, 2028.
“The mode of qualification for the LA28 Olympic Games is yet to be confirmed, but will likely be discussed during the ICC’s Annual Conference in Singapore starting on July 17,” the ICC further added in its release.
Cricket is set to return to the Olympics after 128 years since its debut in Paris 1900, when Great Britain claimed gold in a one-off match against France.
Six teams in men’s and women’s categories will compete for medals, with 90 athlete quotas allotted for each tournament, allowing nations to name 15-member squads.
All matches will be stages at the Ponoma Fairplex, about 50 km from downtown Los Angeles. The format includes double-headers on most matchdays, with fixtures beginning at 9:00 AM and 6:30 PM local time.
The return of cricket to the Olympics signals another major step forward in the sport’s global expansion and to celebrate the game on one of the World’s biggest sporting stages.
