Want to partake in the L.A. Olympics for free? Here’s how you can register to volunteer.

Do World Cup ticket prices have your eyes watering right now? Are you wincing at trying to stay under your credit limit for the next Olympics ticket drop this summer? Thankfully, there’s a way to attend L.A.’s next global sports spectacular without breaking the bank—as long as you’re alright with working during it.

LA28 announced new details for the volunteer program at the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Starting July 14, you’ll be able to apply for positions across eight categories of volunteering roles, from driving to technology to sports. You won’t be able to just pop in for a single day, though; you’ll need to commit to 10 nonconsecutive shifts before or during either the Olympics (Mar–Aug 2028) or Paralympics (Aug–Sept 2028).

Here’s how it works: Applications open on the LA28 site on July 14. In order to register, you’ll need to be at least 18 years old, proficient in English, available for 10 eight-hour shifts and present in the L.A. area during the Games—or Oklahoma City, as well as the satellite soccer host cities like New York, Columbus, Nashville, St. Louis, San Jose and San Diego. Note that all of these positions are unpaid, and LA28 will not cover travel or lodging expenses.

Roles are available across eight categories: ceremonies, communications, driving, experience, medical, operations, sport and technology. (LA28 provides a few examples of responsibilities, like guiding spectators and athletes, offering medical aid or providing translation assistance.) When you apply, you can indicate your top three preferred categories as well as any specialized skills you have, but no roles are guaranteed. Next, if you’re selected from the initial applicant pool, LA28 will reach out about an in-person or virtual assessment; if you make it past that, you’ll receive a volunteer offer via email, and eventually an invite to a training program.

Now, of course, this is still work; you won’t just get to hang out at the Coliseum and watch track and field for free. (And it’s worth noting that LA28’s volunteer info makes no mention of receiving free event tickets.) Maybe you’ll spend your whole shift outside of a venue entirely or toiling away in the weeks leading up to the Games, but if you’re lucky, you could end up with a view of competition.

“As fans fill the seats and athletes take the global stage, behind every event, every venue and every moment is the LA28 Volunteer Crew,” said LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover in a statement. “Volunteers are the backbone of the Games. They are a friendly face who helps welcome the world, create memorable experiences and bring the Olympic and Paralympic spirit to life. Their passion and energy will help define LA28 for athletes, fans and communities across the region.”

If you’d rather not donate your time for free, you can always just (try to) buy tickets during the next ticket drop in August. Registration is open now through July 22; in the meantime, make sure to brush up on our in-depth guide on how to navigate the LA28 ticketing process.
