I think UEFA are usually fairly pragmatic about scheduling and will want to avoid a clash. Euros finals usually kick off at 8pm BST (so noon in LA), and they won't want to compete for TV time with another major sporting event.
Plus the Olympic football usually starts on D-2, and while there won't be a huge crossover in countries wanting to put their A-teams into both tournaments, there really ought to be some clear ground between the two.
It may have a knock-on in moving the domestic leagues forward a week or two over the 26/27 and 27/28 seasons, but they ought to have plenty of notice!
