Today, the DNC is announcing key details for the 2028 national convention, as Democrats build on our momentum from historic wins in 2025 toward retaking power at every level, all across the map in 2026 and beyond. 

The 2028 Democratic National Convention will be held from August 7 – 10, 2028. The following cities have advanced in the application process to host the 2028 Democratic National Convention and will receive a site visit this spring: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, and Philadelphia. 

About the Site Visits: DNC leadership and representatives of the party’s Technical Advisory Group will visit each of these cities to assess the logistical and operational components of each city’s bid. Examples of issues that will be considered during site visits and in the selection process include: 

• The importance of forging a strong partnership between the DNC and the host city, including its community, political, and business leaders. 
• A commitment to selecting a city that shares Democratic values.
• The value of utilizing new and innovative approaches in response to the challenges and opportunities that arise from hosting an event of this magnitude. 

DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement: 

“The DNC is proud to be moving forward with our 2028 Democratic National Convention plans, another critical step toward retaking the White House and finally putting an end to Republicans’ betrayal of working families. We look forward to celebrating our future nominees on the national stage and highlighting Democrats’ commitment to building a better, safer, and more affordable future for our country.”
