World Skate set Phase 1 of LA28 qualification to run from 11 June 2026 through 31 March 2028 and designated the World Skateboarding Tour (WST) as the sole funnel into Phase 2. (skateboarding.worldskate.org) Each national team may register up to three athletes per WST event, and up to six additional athletes per nation can gain entry by appearing in the World Skateboarding Ranking top 30 as of 60 days before the start of a given WST event. (skateboarding.worldskate.org) World Skate confirmed the World Skateboarding Ranking will use each athlete’s best results from the prior 18 months, and it named the WST Rome World Cup in June 2026 as the official kick-off for the Road to LA28 Phase 1. (skateboarding.worldskate.org) Phase 2 is scheduled from 1 April 2028 to 11 June 2028 and will invite the top 44 athletes in each discipline and gender (44×4 = 176 athletes), with each field capped at a maximum of six athletes per country and given an evenly graduated Phase 2 points baseline based on Phase 1 placings. (skateboarding.worldskate.org) At the close of Phase 2 each field will be reduced to 22 Olympic competitors, and final selection will apply the Paris-cycle criteria: a maximum of three athletes per NOC, at least one athlete per continent, a host-nation place if not otherwise qualified, plus one Universality quota slot. (skateboarding.worldskate.org) World Skate published a downloadable LA28 Qualification System bulletin and said full Phase 2 rules and the World Skateboarding Ranking point-allocation tables will be released on its site prior to the start of the qualification period.
