The International Hockey Federation (FIH) is delighted to inform the global hockey community that LA28 Olympic tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning April 9.

Yesterday (April 7), fans who had registered on the ticketing platform (see here) have received an email from LA28 notifying them of one the following outcomes:

  • They received a time slot in Drop 1, which will include the date and time of their time slot.
  • Fans will receive email reminders prior to their time slot, which will include a link to the ticketing platform.
  • They did not receive a time slot in Drop 1, and they're automatically registered for the draw for Drop 2.

Purchase Windows
For Drop 1, eligible participants who are randomly selected will receive a 48-hour assigned time slot to purchase their tickets.

Ticket Maximums
Fans will have the opportunity to purchase up to 12 tickets for Olympic events.

Future Draws and Drops
Registrants not assigned a time slot for Drop 1 will be automatically entered into future LA28 Ticket Draws for a chance to receive a time slot in a future ticket drop. Fans only need to register once to be automatically entered into future LA28 Ticket Draws. More information on the next draw* and registration period, which will take place later this year, will be shared soon.

Like the last editions since the Beijing Olympics in 2008, 12 teams per gender will participate in the quadrennial mega-event, including the host nation, the USA.

The remaining 11 participating teams per gender will result from the following events:

  • FIH Hockey Pro League: the highest placed nation in the FIH Hockey Pro League Seasons 2025-26 and 2026-27 will qualify; if the same team that wins the 2025-26 Season also wins the 2026-27 Season, the runner up of the 2026-27 Season will qualify

  • Continental Championships*: the highest placed team in each of the five continental championships that is not already qualified as host or through the FIH Hockey Pro League will qualify; should the nations that qualified through the FIH Hockey Pro League be the highest placed in their continental championships, the next highest placed nation in such continental championship will qualify**

  • FIH Olympic Qualification Tournaments: there will be four tournaments (two per gender) consisting of eight teams each, held in early 2028; the top two teams in each tournament will qualify and therefore complete the line-up of participating teams


Located just outside downtown Los Angeles, Carson Field, which are adjacent to the world renowned venue that serves as the home of the LA Galaxy football team, will be transformed into a state-of-the-art hockey venue, equipped to host thrilling matches, vibrant fan activations, and moments that will shape the next chapter of Olympic hockey history.

Hockey has been an Olympic sport since 1908. The Netherlands won both Gold medals at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

*The Continental Championships include:

  • African Hockey Road to LA28 (scheduled in 2027)
  • 20th Pan American Games (scheduled in 2027)
  • 20th Asian Games (scheduled in 2026)
  • EuroHockey Championship (scheduled in 2027)
  • Oceania Cup (scheduled in 2027)

**Should the USA win the 20th Pan American Games in 2027, the second placed nation will not subsequently qualify; instead, the quota place will be allocated through the FIH Olympic Qualification Tournaments
