LA Olympics to Sell Naming Rights to some Venues in Game-Changing Deal for 2028

The landmark deal breaks the International Olympic Committee's policy to raise revenue beyond the $6.9 billion budget by selling naming rights to multiple temporary venues.

  • On Thursday, Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games organizers said they will sell venue naming rights for the first time in Olympic history, organizers said Thursday.
  • Facing a $7.1 billion budget gap, LA28 organizers said they seek new revenue through an IOC-approved program to sell venue naming rights this year.
  • By partnering with Honda and Comcast, LA28 already secured venue naming rights for the Honda Center and Comcast Squash Center, with rights extending to up to 19 temporary venues.
  • IOC’s TOP sponsors will have first right of refusal for venue naming deals, including temporary venues, organizers said.
  • LA28 chairman and CEO Casey Wasserman said revenue from the deals goes above what’s in LA’s current $6.9 billion budget and adds to the $2.5 billion sponsorship target.
