The U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials for the Los Angeles Games will take place from June 9-17, 2028, at the Indianapolis Colts’ Lucas Oil Stadium, which was previously announced as the venue for a second consecutive trials.
The trials shift to a Friday through Saturday competition after previously being Saturday through Sunday in 2024.
The last day of swimming trials will also be the first day of the track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon. The last two days of swimming trials will be the first two days of gymnastics trials in Louisville.
The trials will expand to include 50-meter stroke events that will make their Olympic debuts in Los Angeles. Qualification standards for the trials will be announced in mid-October.
Swimming at the 2028 LA Games will be at SoFi Stadium (which will be named 2028 Stadium during the Games), marking the first time Olympic swimming will be in an NFL venue.
In 2024, Lucas Oil Stadium became the first NFL venue to hold an Olympic swimming trials. The 2024 trials broke attendance records with more than 285,000 fans across all sessions.
In 2028, it will be the eighth time Indianapolis hosts the trials overall, extending the city’s record for the most times holding the meet.
Previous trials in Indianapolis were held at the Indiana University Natatorium.
Indianapolis first hosted the men’s trials in 1924, then did so again in 1952 (women) and for both men and women in 1984, 1992, 1996 and 2000, when a 15-year-old Michael Phelps made his first Olympic team.
