when will the olympics end

The current Olympics will end with the official Closing Ceremony on 22 February 2026, which is the final day of competition for the Milano Cortina Winter Games in Italy.

Quick Scoop

  • The Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics run for 17 days from the Opening Ceremony to the Closing Ceremony.
  • Competitions began on 4 February 2026, with the Opening Ceremony on 6 February 2026.
  • The Games conclude on Sunday, 22 February 2026, with the Closing Ceremony and the last medal events (including men’s ice hockey, bobsleigh, cross‑country skiing, and curling).

Why that date matters

  • 22 February is when medals are finalized, flags are lowered, and the Olympic flame is extinguished, symbolically ending the Games.
  • After the Closing Ceremony, any remaining events are typically Paralympic or other international competitions, not part of the Olympic schedule.

If you meant a different year

If you were thinking of the last Summer Olympics in Paris 2024, those officially ran from 26 July to 11 August 2024, ending with the Closing Ceremony on 11 August.
