LA’s Sports Trifecta Is Here | Los Angeles News

Southern California is about to host a historic sports trifecta—World Cup, Super Bowl LXI, and the 2028 Olympics and Paralympics—with the World Cup serving as a massive test run that brought half a million fans and $900 million in economic impact. The upcoming Olympics will feature over 11,000 athletes from 200+ countries across 51 sports, marking L.A.’s first Games in 44 years—and the first time Paralympics are coming to town. Officials praised the World Cup’s crowd energy and transit success, lessons they’re applying to scale up for the Olympics. With 4 million tickets already sold and plans for 14 million total, LA28 could shatter Paris 2024’s record. Community-driven fan zones proved powerful, and with Super Bowl and Olympics on deck, SoCal is cementing its global sports crown.
