Softball will be reintroduced at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles after it was not contested at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Softball was on the Olympic program from 1996 to 2008. It was introduced at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and was removed from the program for 2012 and 2016, but was added for a one-off appearance, along with baseball, for the 2020 Summer Olympics (which was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

Contents

Olympic softball is governed by the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC).

Competition format

The softball tournament will feature a single round-robin of the six teams in which each team plays one game against each other. The top two teams will advance to a gold medal game, while the third and fourth-placed teams will qualify for the bronze medal game. [2]

Qualification

Six national teams will qualify for the Olympic softball tournament. The United States automatically qualified, as the host nation.

The highest ranked unqualified team of the 2027 Women's Softball World Cup will qualify in April 2027. The WBSC will host three continental qualification events throughout 2027, with one team qualifying for each. The first will consist of four teams from Asia and two from Oceania, the second will have five European teams and one from Africa, and the third will solely host six teams from the Americas. The runner-up and third placed teams in each event will qualify for a final tournament, scheduled to be held no later than March 2028. [3] [4]
