Marking Los Angeles' first time as the Paralympics host, the Games will be the first Summer Paralympics since the 1996 edition in Atlanta to take place in the United States, and the third overall.

As part of a formal agreement between the International Paralympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee first established in 2001, the winner of the bid for the 2028 Summer Olympics must also host the 2028 Summer Paralympics.^[1]

Due to concerns over a number of cities withdrawing in the bid process of the 2022 Winter Olympics and 2024 Summer Olympics, a process to award the 2024 and 2028 Games simultaneously to the final two cities in the running to the 2024 Summer Olympics—Los Angeles and Paris—was approved at an Extraordinary IOC Session on July 11, 2017, in Lausanne.^[2] Paris was understood to be the preferred host for the 2024 Games. On July 31, 2017, the IOC announced Los Angeles as the sole candidate for the 2028 Games, leaving Paris to be confirmed as hosts for the 2024 Games. Both decisions were ratified at the 131st IOC Session on September 13, 2017.^[3]

The emblems for the 2028 Summer Olympics and Paralympics were unveiled on September 1, 2020, featuring an interchangeable "A" reflecting the cultural diversity of Los Angeles.^[5][6][7]
