2026 Winter Olympics location
- Location: Milan, Cortina d'Ampezzo
The 2026 Winter Olympics will be hosted in two cities: Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
The site was selected in 2019, when the bidding results ended with the two Italian cities earning the Olympics over Stockholm and Are in Sweden. It will mark the fourth time the Olympics have been held in Italy, following the 1956 Winter Olympics (Cortina d'Ampezzo), 1960 Summer Olympics (Rome) and 2006 Winter Olympics (Turin).
Cortina d'Ampezzo was also selected to host the 1944 Winter Olympics, which were canceled due to World War II.
