Nevada is one of all 50 states on the first coast-to-coast Olympic torch relay in history, ending July 14, 2028 in Los Angeles.
Confirmed: the flame is coming to Nevada.
LA28 confirmed a relay across all 50 states, starting in Atlanta in spring 2028. The Nevada route and dates come with the full route announcement in 2027, and this page will update the moment they do.

Torchbearer selection has not opened yet. Based on recent Games, expect open applications and sponsor nomination programs in 2027, plus community torchbearer slots reserved for local heroes in each state. The only official source is la28.org, and nobody can sell you a guaranteed slot.
