Bids for the 2024 Summer Olympics

The 2024 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event. Bidding for the games started in 2015, with five candidate cities in contention, but Hamburg and Rome subsequently withdrew. The three remaining candidate sites are Budapest, Los Angeles, and Paris. The host of the Summer Olympic Games is scheduled to be announced at the 130th International Olympic Committee Session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017.

The candidature process was announced at the same time as the names of the five candidates cities on 16 September 2015.

Five candidate cities were announced by the IOC on 16 September 2015, Budapest, Hamburg, Los Angeles, Paris and Rome. Hamburg withdrew its bid per a referendum held on 29 November 2015, while, citing fiscal difficulties, Rome withdrew on 21 September 2016.

Budapest is the capital of the only nation from the ten most successful overall which has not hosted the Olympics yet. Hungary has the 7th most Olympic champions in the world. One of the world's top swimming nations with 25 swimming gold medals, Hungary will host the 2017 World Aquatics Championships. In 2017, Hungary host other championship events such as the Judo World Championships, European Youth Olympic Festival, European University Basketball Championships. In 2018, Szeged will host the World University Championships Canoe Sprint and Modern Pentathlon. In 2019 Budapest will host the World Table Tennis Championships, as well as the European Maccabi games and in 2020 the capital will co-host the UEFA European Football Championship. Budapest will be the European Capital of Sport in 2019 as a compact city known for music festivals, thermal springs, its castle district and eco-friendly credentials, Budapest is targeting itself as a new model that revives the Olympic hopes of other "smaller" cities around the world. The staging of the European Youth Olympic Festival 2017 is viewed by organizers as a live rehearsal for a multi-site event like the Summer Olympics.
