The 2026 Winter Olympics (Italian: Olimpiadi invernali del 2026), officially the XXV Olympic Winter Games and commonly known as Milano Cortina 2026, is an upcoming international multi-sport event scheduled to take place from 6 to 22 February 2026 at sites across Northern and Northeast Italy.

Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo were awarded the 2026 Winter Olympics at the 134th IOC Session on 24 June 2019, beating a joint bid by the Swedish cities of Stockholm and Åre. They will be the first Olympic Games to officially be co-hosted by multiple cities, with Milan primarily hosting ice events, and the remaining events being hosted in clusters around Cortina, and the Valtellina and Fiemme valleys. They will be the fourth Olympic Games hosted by Italy, and the third Winter Olympics since the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin; Cortina d'Ampezzo had previously hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics.

The Games will feature the debut of ski mountaineering as an Olympic event.^[1]
