2028 Los Angeles Olympics: Exciting 3×3 Basketball Tournament

The 3×3 version of basketball is a fast-paced and exciting variation of the sport, inspired by street basketball, which is a beloved urban pastime worldwide. Instead of the traditional 5-on-5 setup, 3×3 basketball is played on a half-court with two teams of three players each. Players on both teams compete for the same hoop, switching between attacking and defending based on ball possession. The game can be won by reaching 21 points first or having the highest score by the end of 10 minutes. The 3-point line in regular basketball serves as the 2-point line in 3×3, and each team has a roster of four players.

This year marks the third appearance of 3×3 basketball at the Olympics, debuting in 2021 at the Tokyo Games. The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will feature both a men’s and a women’s 3×3 basketball tournament, in addition to the traditional 5-on-5 basketball tournaments for men and women.

The competition for 3×3 basketball at the 2028 Olympics will run from July 16 to July 22. The schedule includes several days of men’s and women’s pool play, leading up to the play-in round, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the medal finals for both categories. Please note that dates are subject to change, so stay tuned to the NBC Olympics schedule page for the most up-to-date information.
