By the time the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics opening ceremony takes place July 14, the men’s and women’s soccer tournament will be well underway, according to the schedule that was released Monday.

The men’s and women’s Olympic tournaments will be held across the United States, with New York, Columbus, Ohio, Nashville, Tenn., and St. Louis all playing host to men’s and women’s group stage matches July 10 and 11.

San Diego and San Jose, Calif., will play host to women’s group stage matches starting July 11.

The tournament will not reach the Los Angeles area until July 21 when the women’s tournament conducts a quarterfinal match on July 21 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. The men’s and women’s semifinals and finals will also take place at the Rose Bowl between July 24-29.

The early start to the tournament allows all teams two extra days of rest between games compared to previous Olympic tournaments.

The complete schedule for both tournaments, as well as game start times, will be released at a later date.
