Olympics Betting Odds, Predictions, and Best Bets 2028

This is WSN's Summer Olympics betting hub: your home for medal markets, event-by-event odds, and predictions across every sport on the program. The next Summer Games head to Los Angeles in 2028, and we build this page out sport by sport as the odds boards fill in. Following the Winter Games instead? Our Winter Olympics betting hub has you covered.

Olympic markets play differently from your weekly league bets: the fields turn over every four years, plenty of events are niche, and the margins books build in can run wide, so shopping for the right price matters more than usual. We rank the best US sportsbooks on payout speed and how much juice they fold into their odds, so your bankroll gets a fair shake before the opening ceremony.

What to Know About LA 2028

Here's what's locked in for the next Summer Games. Los Angeles hosts from July 14 to 30, 2028, becoming just the third city to stage the Olympics three times, after 1932 and 1984, alongside London and Paris. It's shaping up as the biggest program in Games history, with flag football, cricket, lacrosse, and squash all set to debut and baseball and softball returning; softball and canoe slalom will be played in Oklahoma City rather than LA.

With the Games still a couple of years out, now's the time to get your footing: our guide on how to bet on the Olympics walks through the market types, from medal futures to event moneylines, so you're ready when the odds go live.

Basketball is one of the most heavily bet events of the Games, with NBA and WNBA stars stacking the men's and women's tournaments. These previews break down the gold-medal odds, the contenders, and where we see value.

The bracket also swings fast once the knockouts start, so if you like betting live, keep one of our top-rated sports betting apps handy for the quickest in-play markets.

Olympic soccer is its own puzzle, with age-limited men's squads and a stacked women's field that make both draws tricky to read. Our previews run from the group stage through the medal matches.

If you're opening an account to back a run, start with the best sportsbook welcome bonuses so you head in with extra value rather than paying full freight from your first bet.

Beyond the team sports, this is where a lot of Olympic value hides: golf, tennis, swimming, and track and field, where a single outright can pay big.

Because those fields run deep and the prices run long, it's worth converting an outright with our odds calculator and converter to see exactly what a longshot returns before you commit.
