The 2032 Summer Olympics, officially the Games of the XXXV Olympiad and also known as Brisbane 2032 or the abbreviation Bris2032, is an upcoming international multi-sport event scheduled to take place from 23 July to 8 August 2032, with Brisbane, Queensland, Australia as the main host city.[1][2] It will be the third Olympic Games held in Australia, after the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Victoria and the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, New South Wales.[3] It will be the first Summer Olympics to be hosted in more than one city, with multiple cities/regions hosting it. After the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, it will be the second Summer Olympics held during the host country's winter season.
Following changes in the bidding rules, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) selected and announced Brisbane as the winning bid on 21 July 2021, two days before the start of the 2020 Summer Olympics.[4] Brisbane was first announced as the preferred bid on 24 February 2021, gaining the formal approval of the IOC Executive Board on 10 June 2021.[5][6][7] Brisbane became the first host city to be selected to host the Olympics through the new bid process.[2]
The event will be the fourth Summer Games to be held in the Southern Hemisphere, after the aforementioned games in Australia and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. With the Brisbane Olympics following the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games or LA28, the Games will be the second time the Olympics are held in Australia following the United States (as last occurred with the 1996 Atlanta Games and the 2000 Sydney Games). Australia is also the second country after the United States to have three different cities chosen to host the Summer Olympics and is expected to receive the Olympic flag during the closing ceremony of the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, United States.[8]
