 The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will feature a mix of new and old sports, including flag football and squash making their Olympic debut. Meanwhile, baseball, softball, lacrosse, and cricket are returning after various absences. Lacrosse has not been an Olympic sport since 1908, while cricket was last featured in the 1900 Paris Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has also approved the addition of skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing as permanent events. Breaking, which made its debut in the 2024 Paris Games, is not included in the Los Angeles schedule due to funding concerns.
