Orlando is set to take center stage on the global sports calendar, with the International Olympic Committee confirming the city as one of just four international host stops for the Olympic Q-Series on the path to the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles.

The series — formerly known as the Olympic Qualifier Series — will make its rounds in May and June of 2028, giving Central Florida a high-profile moment alongside Tokyo, Shanghai, and Montreal. Each city will host one stop of the competition.

For local sports fans, it's a rare chance to watch elite international athletes compete right in their own backyard, with Olympic berths on the line heading into the LA Games.

No additional details about the Orlando venue or specific sports have been announced at this time.
