Cricket at 2028 LA Games
Set for a return after 128 years at Olympics, cricket will feature for the first time since the Paris Games in 1900. The much-anticipated return will take place on July 12 with six teams participating in the competition. The majority of the days will have double headers in both men’s and women’s categories with gold, silver and bronze medals up for grabs.
Notably no cricket matches are scheduled on July 14 and 21 at LA28. Most of the matchdays will be double-headers, with the games starting from 9:00 AM and 6:30 PM as per local Los Angeles time. It’s the same for the medal matches.
