The 2026 Winter Olympics (Italian: Olimpiadi invernali del 2026), officially the XXV Olympic Winter Games and commonly known as Milano Cortina 2026, were an international winter multi-sport event held from 6 to 22 February 2026 at multiple sites across Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, with competition in selected events beginning on 4 February 2026. Featuring the debut of ski mountaineering as a Winter Olympic event, Milano Cortina 2026 was the first Olympic Games under the IOC presidency of Kirsty Coventry.
A joint bid by Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo was awarded on 24 June 2019 at the 134th IOC Session in Lausanne, Switzerland, in preference to another joint bid made by Stockholm and Åre, Sweden. The 2026 Olympic Games were the first to be officially co-hosted by two cities. Milan primarily hosted the ice events, while the remaining events were hosted in clusters around Cortina, Livigno, and Fiemme. These were the third Winter Olympics, and the fourth Olympics overall, to be hosted by Italy, as Cortina d'Ampezzo had previously hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics and Torino hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics.
