LA 2028 Olympics: Fencing Set for July 15‑23 at Convention Center, Streamed on Peacock

TL;DR: Fencing at the LA 2028 Games will take place from July 15 to July 23 in Hall 1 of the LA Convention Center. Every bout will be streamed live on Peacock.

Fencing is one of the oldest Olympic sports, dating back to the 1896 Games. Athletes compete on a piste using one of three weapons—foil, épée, or sabre—aiming to score touches on valid target areas. Individual bouts end when a fencer reaches 15 points or leads when time expires; team bouts run to 45 points.

The competition will feature 12 medal events: individual and team foil, épée, and sabre for both men and women. Matches begin Saturday, July 15 with women’s épée and men’s sabre, and conclude Sunday, July 23 with women’s team sabre. All bouts will be held in Hall 1 of the LA Convention Center, one of four Olympic venues located in the downtown complex near Crypto.com Arena.

NBCUniversal has secured exclusive streaming rights for the Games, designating Peacock as the live‑stream home for every fencing match. Viewers can also authenticate via cable to access the streams on NBCOlympics.com, the NBC app, or connected TV devices.

Using an existing convention hall reduces construction costs and leverages a site that already hosts major events such as the Grammys and Emmys. The nine‑day schedule matches the length of recent Olympic fencing programs, providing a compact window for broadcasters and spectators.

Watch for the final women’s team sabre bout on July 23, which will close the fencing program and determine the last set of medals.
