How will the Olympic Q-Series build on the success of previous qualifying events?

The decision to enhance and expand the Olympic Q Series builds on the huge success of the inaugural Olympic Qualifying Series in 2024. The events in Shanghai and Budapest (Hungary) proved the effectiveness of this concept, bringing together multiple sports in a compact festival-style urban environment, resulting in the highest level of competition, large attendances, exciting partner events and substantial global broadcast and digital engagement.

By bringing together six sports in a multi-city series, the Olympic Q Series makes the path to the Olympics easier to follow, more visible and more exciting for fans and athletes alike.

Further details about the 2028 Q Series Olympics, including ticketing and broadcasting of each leg, will be confirmed at a later date.
