LA 2028: Olympic cricket venue 'on agenda' for IPL expansion into USA

The venue planned to host cricket at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is under discussion as a potential site for expanding the Indian Premier League into the United States, according to officials involved in the talks.

The IPL, one of the world's most lucrative cricket leagues, has long sought to establish a presence in the U.S. market, and the Olympic venue could serve as a hub for matches and related events.

Discussions are in early stages, with stakeholders evaluating logistics, infrastructure, and scheduling around the 2028 Games. The venue's design and capacity are being tailored to meet both Olympic and potential IPL requirements.

The move would mark a significant step for cricket's growth in America, where the sport has a growing fan base among diaspora communities and new enthusiasts. No formal agreements have been announced.
