The 2026 Winter Olympics will take place in northern Italy, co-hosted by the cities of Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. The Games are scheduled from 6–22 February 2026 and are officially known as the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.

Host cities and region

The core host locations are:

  • Milan (Milano), the major urban hub where many ice events and the opening ceremony will be held.
  • Cortina d’Ampezzo, a famous alpine resort in the Dolomites that will host several mountain and sliding events.

Beyond these two, events are spread across several venues in northern Italy, making this one of the more geographically distributed Winter Games.

Key venues and clusters

Competitions will be organized in multiple clusters across the Alps:

  • Milan cluster for ice hockey, figure skating, speed skating, and the opening ceremony at San Siro.
  • Cortina and surrounding alpine venues for skiing, sliding sports, and other outdoor events.
  • Additional events in towns like Bormio, Livigno, Anterselva/Antholz, Predazzo, and Tesero.

Over 90% of the venues are existing or temporary facilities, reflecting a sustainability-focused plan and reuse of infrastructure from previous events.
