The 2026 Winter Olympics (Italian: Olimpiadi invernali del 2026), officially the XXV Olympic Winter Games and commonly known as Milano Cortina 2026, was an international multi-sport event that took place from 6 to 22 February 2026 at multiple sites across Lombardy and Northeast Italy, 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 the 2026 Winter Olympics at the 134th IOC Session on 24 June 2019, 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, and 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.
Norway finished at the top of the medal table for the fourth successive Winter Olympics with 18 gold and 41 medals overall, setting a new record for the largest number of gold and total medals won at a single Winter Olympics. The United States finished second with 12 gold and 33 medals overall, making this the team's most successful Winter Olympics in terms of gold medals. The Netherlands finished in a tie for third with 10 gold and 20 medals overall, also making this the team's most successful Winter Olympics in terms of gold medals. The host nation Italy finished in a tie for third with 10 gold, but finished fourth due to having fewer silvers, and 30 medals overall, setting a new record for number of medals won. Brazil won the first medal and first gold medal in their Winter Olympic history; also the first tropical, Latin American and South American National Olympic Committee to win a medal at the Winter Olympics. Georgia also won the first medal in their Winter Olympic history. Despite early concerns and controversies relating to logistics, the Games were considered a success by the press and observers upon their conclusion.
