The Milano‑Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics will take place from 6–22 February 2026, bringing the world’s biggest winter sports celebration to northern Italy. Co-hosted by the fashion capital Milan and the stunning Alpine resort of Cortina d’Ampezzo, these Games promise a unique mix of urban energy, mountain adventure, and Italian culture.
Milan will play a central role, hosting the opening ceremony at the iconic San Siro Stadium and welcoming athletes and fans for key indoor events such as ice hockey, figure skating, short-track, and speed skating. Known globally for design, finance, and innovation, Milan offers visitors much more than sport—historic landmarks, world-class museums, and vibrant neighbourhoods all add to the Olympic atmosphere.
Beyond the city, the snow-covered Alps come alive. Venues across Cortina, Bormio, Livigno, and Val di Fiemme will host alpine skiing, snowboarding, biathlon, and Nordic disciplines. With over 100 medal events and nearly 3,000 athletes from around the world, Milano-Cortina 2026 celebrates both elite performance and the diverse geography of Italy.
