Sumario:The world of high energy physics eagerly awaits the startup of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) currently being built at CERN. First physics collisions are expected in 2007 at the energies that will eventually surpass the Tevatron by almost an order of magnitude. Four major detectors are being assembled in order to prepare for the unprecedented wealth of scientific information expected at the LHC: ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, and LHCb. This is a short overview of the status of two general purpose LHC experiments — ATLAS and CMS. Current status and plans for the future are discussed.
