The 2024 Olympics (officially the XXXIII Olympiad ) are scheduled to take place in the French capital Paris from July 26th to August 11th, 2024 . The city will host the event for the third time since 1900 and 1924 .

Candidate cities

The National Olympic Committees were invited to submit their candidacies to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) by September 15, 2015 . On September 16, 2015, the IOC announced that Budapest , Hamburg , Los Angeles , Paris and Rome would apply to host the Olympic Games in 2024.

Hamburg withdrew its application after the city's residents decided against applying in a referendum on November 29, 2015. The application of Rome was withdrawn on September 29, 2016 by the city council. On February 22, 2017, the city of Budapest withdrew its application.

On July 31, 2017, Los Angeles withdrew its application and became the only city to apply for the 2028 Olympics . This left Paris as the only candidate for the 2024 Games. The IOC had decided on July 11, 2017 in Lausanne a double award, provided that Paris and Los Angeles agree on a binding agreement on the conditions. A corresponding contract was unanimously approved at the IOC General Assembly on September 13, 2017 in Lima ( Peru ).

Paris is to host the Olympic Games for the third time since 1900 and 1924 .
