Phillips 66 LA28 is now an official partnership: the Houston energy company became the Official Fuel Partner of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Team USA on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026. The deal covers the fuel for Games vehicles and venue equipment, so it touches the day-to-day logistics of an event spread across 49 venues.
What Phillips 66 will supply
According to the company’s announcement, Phillips 66 will provide gasoline, renewable diesel and propane. It will sell the fuel under its Phillips 66, 76 and Conoco brands. Vehicles that carry fans, athletes and officials between venues will run on it, and so will the equipment that keeps those venues operating.
Locally owned 76 stations will also help fuel the Games fleet. As a result, part of the supply chain stays with neighborhood station operators, not only with the company itself. The release does not say how many stations will take part or when fueling begins.
Track and field trials and the torch relay
Phillips 66 will also act as Presenting Partner of the 2028 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Trials for Track & Field. In addition, it will supply fuel for the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. For background on how athletes reach LA28, see our guide to the LA28 athletics qualification standards.
The torch relay is part of the deal too. The Olympic Torch Relay starts in Olympia, Greece, then reaches Atlanta, Georgia, and crosses all 50 states before it ends in Los Angeles. Phillips 66 says it will provide fuel for the Olympic and Paralympic Torches and for the relay vehicles. However, the announcement does not give relay dates or a route, so those details are still to come.
What it means for LA residents
Fueling the Games fleet is a quiet but large operation. Buses, vans and service vehicles all need a steady supply, and venues across the region need power for equipment. A single supplier gives organizers one point of contact for that work.
For everyday drivers, the announcement changes nothing at the pump today. Prices in the region depend on other factors, which we explain in why gas prices are so high in Los Angeles. Still, residents may see more 76 branding tied to the Games as 2028 gets closer.
LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover said that with Phillips 66, organizers know the fuel to support athletes will be there. Phillips 66 chairman and CEO Mark Lashier described the company’s mission as providing energy and improving lives.
