Procurement for Brisbane 2032

The Olympic and Paralympic Games Brisbane 2032 marks an important moment for Queensland, Australia, and the global sporting community.

The Games will be hosted across Brisbane and throughout Queensland, leveraging existing infrastructure and focusing on long-term community benefit. Featuring 28 Olympic and 22 Paralympic sports, events will take place from Cairns to Coolangatta, as well as in Sydney and Melbourne — bringing the Games’ spirit to communities across Australia.
