Schedule
2012 Summer Games Schedule
When London first bid on the 2012 Summer Games, 28 different sports were presented in the bidding, the same amount featured in Beijing 2008. After London was awarded the Games, the IOC elected to drop two sports from the list: softball and baseball. So, for the 2012 Summer Games 26 sports and 38 disciplines will be featured at venues in London and throughout the UK.

Seating
Your Seating at the 2012 Summer Games
Venues for the 2012 Summer Games will be primarily located in the Greater London area, however some sports will take place at venues throughout England and the UK. Some football games will be held in Wales and Scotland, alleviating some of the pressure on London’s venues.
In London, the venues will be divided up into three zones:
- Olympic Zone
- River Zone
- Central Zone
The Olympic Zone, based in London’s east area of Stratford, will encompass all of the venues and facilities within the 2 km² of Olympic Park. The Olympic Stadium, the Aquatics Centre and the Basketball Arena are just a few of the venues in this zone.
The River Zone, straddling the River Thames, contains venues for boxing, artistic gymnastics and equestrian, among several others. The relatively new O2 Arena, where several sports are held, is the former Millennium Dome.
The remaining venues in the Greater London area will be a part of the Central Zone. Wembley Stadium, Lord’s Cricket Ground and Hyde Park, as well as most of the Olympic Marathon Course, are all part of several venues in this zone.
