Grand Slam Track Los Angeles Meet Officially Set for August 18, 2025 Season, NBC Olympics Confirms…
Los Angeles, CA — The prestigious Grand Slam Track series will return to Los Angeles in 2025, with NBC Olympics confirming the official date for one of the season’s most anticipated meets.
The Grand Slam Track Los Angeles meet is now scheduled for August 18, 2025, at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum — a venue deeply rooted in Olympic and track and field tradition.
The announcement, made earlier today by NBC Olympics, marks a significant moment in the buildup to the 2025 track and field season. The Grand Slam Track series, a premier international circuit featuring elite-level athletes from around the globe, is a cornerstone of the global athletics calendar, drawing widespread media coverage and packed stadiums.
Los Angeles, which has long been a cultural and sporting hub, will once again take center stage as it hosts top-tier competition in the lead-up to the 2028 Summer Olympics, also set to take place in LA. Organizers see the 2026 meet not only as a major competitive event but also as a key milestone in the city’s Olympic preparations.
“This meet will be a celebration of world-class athleticism and a preview of what’s to come in 2025,” said Molly Carmichael, Executive Director of Grand Slam Track. “Athletes love competing in Los Angeles — the energy, the fans, and the legacy of the Coliseum create an unforgettable experience.”
The Grand Slam Track series is known for its high-performance races, record-breaking attempts, and compelling athlete narratives. Previous editions of the Los Angeles meet have seen world-leading times in the sprints, dramatic finishes in the distance events, and standout field performances.
Top American and international stars are expected to compete, including reigning Olympic and World Championship medalists. Though official athlete entries have not yet been announced, names like Noah Lyles, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Jakob Ingebrigtsen are already being floated by fans and analysts as likely contenders.
NBC Sports will provide live coverage of the event across its platforms, continuing its long-standing commitment to showcasing Olympic and track and field content. The broadcast will include behind-the-scenes features, athlete interviews, and expert commentary.
The meet is also expected to serve as a U.S. qualifier for international championships taking place later in 2026, raising the stakes for domestic competitors and adding to the drama.
Tickets for the Grand Slam Track Los Angeles meet will go on sale in early February 2025, with pre-sale options available for USA Track & Field members and previous event attendees. Organizers are expecting strong demand given the city’s athletic heritage and the growing popularity of track and field in the United States.
As anticipation builds, the 2025 Los Angeles meet is poised to deliver a compelling chapter in the Grand Slam Track story, bringing together elite performance, Olympic legacy, and the global spirit of competition in one of the sport’s most iconic settings.
