Which city is set to host the 2032 Summer Olympics and Paralympics? Brisbane.
The International Olympic Committee selected Brisbane, Australia, as host of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games in July 2021. The decision made Brisbane the third Australian city to host the Summer Olympics, after Melbourne in 1956 and Sydney in 2000.
The 2032 Games will be centred on Brisbane but are planned as a broader South-East Queensland event. Venues and activities are expected across locations including the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, reflecting the region’s existing sporting infrastructure and transport network.
A common mix-up is confusing Brisbane with Perth, Melbourne or Sydney because all are major Australian cities with Olympic or international-event histories. Brisbane has never previously hosted a Summer Olympics, making 2032 a first for Queensland and a return of the Games to Australia after 32 years.
