2032 Summer Olympics
games of the XXXV Olympiad, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
The 2032 Summer Olympics, officially the Games of the XXXV Olympiad and also known as Brisbane 2032, is a planned international multi-sport event scheduled to take place from 23 July to 8 August 2032 in Brisbane, Australia, with venues across the various regions of Queensland.
As part of the new Olympic bid process, the Future Host Commission of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) nominated Brisbane as its preferred candidate on 24 February 2021. The Brisbane bid was approved on 21 July 2021 during the 138th IOC Session in Tokyo, Japan.
It will be the third Olympic Games held in Australia, following the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Victoria, and the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, New South Wales; Melbourne and Sydney will host some events during the Games. It will be held in Brisbane's winter, the second Summer Olympics held in the host city's winter after the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It will also be the first Olympic Games since 2016 to take place in the southern hemisphere.
Bidding process
The new IOC bidding process was approved at the 134th IOC Session on 24 June 2019 in Lausanne, Switzerland. The key proposals, driven by the relevant recommendations from Olympic Agenda 2020, are:
Establish a permanent, ongoing dialogue to explore and create interest among cities/regions/countries and National Olympic Committees for any Olympic event
Create two Future Host Commissions (Summer and Winter Games) to oversee interest in future Olympic events and report to the IOC executive board
Give the IOC Session more influence by having non-executive board members form part of the Future Host Commissions.
The IOC also modified the Olympic Charter to increase its flexibility by removing the date of election from 7 years before the games and changing the host from a single city/region/country to multiple cities, regions, or countries.
The change in the bidding process was criticised by members of the German bid as "incomprehensible" and hard to surpass in "terms of non-transparency".

Why this record matters
The phrase “games of the XXXV Olympiad, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q31039462. Authority coordinates are -27.468, 153.028. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 3 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2032, 2021, 1956 and 2000.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
