Cricket at LA 2028 will be held in the city of Pomona - 45 miles away from the athletes' village in Los Angeles

The Olympic cricket stadium for LA 2028 could host Indian Premier League teams in the future as part of its global expansion plans, says Kolkata Knight Riders chief executive Venky Mysore.

Construction has now started on the site at the Fairgrounds, officially known as Fairplex, in the southern Californian city of Pomona in readiness for cricket's return to the Games.

The stadium will become the home to KKR's US franchise, Los Angeles Knight Riders and will host Major League Cricket (MLC) matches this July.

It will be a modular venue built in three phases with capacity for 5,000 fans this year, rising to 8,500 in 2027 and then up to 15,000 for the six-team T20 tournament for LA 2028.
