In 2028, the Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relays will return to the United States, bringing this longstanding tradition to communities across the country.
For the first time, the Olympic flame will travel through all 50 states in the lead-up to the LA28 Olympic Games.
The relay will begin in Atlanta, which last hosted the Summer Olympics in 1996. From there, the flame will travel across the country and arrive at the Los Angeles Opening Ceremony.
As torchbearers pass the flame, the relay will connect communities and highlight the diversity and beauty that define the United States.
After the Olympic Games conclude, the Paralympic Torch Relay will begin its own journey to Los Angeles ahead of the LA28 Paralympic Games.
Organizers will announce additional details, including relay routes and information on how the public can apply to become torchbearers, at a later date.
