The time-zone reality of LA 2028
- UK & Ireland (−8h): LA mornings = your evening. LA prime time = your 2–6am.
- Europe/CET (−9h): same story, one hour worse.
- India (−12.5h): LA mornings = your late night; LA evenings = your morning coffee.
- Australia East (−17h): LA evening finals land in your late afternoon the next day — the friendliest big-market slot.
- US East (−3h): LA 8pm finals at 11pm — late, but doable.
What's new at LA 2028
Cricket returns to the Olympics after 128 years (as T20), flag football debuts, and squash finally arrives — three sports whose global audiences (India, the NFL world, Egypt/UK) will all be doing time-zone math. We'll build dedicated schedule pages per sport as fixtures are announced.
LA 2028 — quick answers
When are the 2028 Olympics?
The LA 2028 Games run 14–30 July 2028 in Los Angeles, followed by the Paralympics from 15–27 August 2028.
What time zone are the 2028 Olympics in?
Pacific Time (UTC-7 in July) — 8 hours behind the UK, 9 behind Central Europe, 12.5 behind India and 17 behind Sydney. An 8pm final in LA is 4am in London and 8:30am in Delhi.
Will Europe be able to watch LA 2028 live?
Morning sessions in LA (from ~9am PT) land in European prime time (5–10pm) — expect finals in some sports to be scheduled there deliberately. LA evening sessions run overnight for Europe, so the marquee US-prime-time finals will mean late nights or morning replays.
Which new sports are at LA 2028?
Cricket (T20) returns for the first time since 1900, flag football debuts, and baseball/softball, lacrosse and squash join the programme.
When are the next Winter Olympics?
After Milano-Cortina 2026, the Winter Games head to the French Alps in February 2030, then Salt Lake City in 2034.
