For the first time in the history of the Olympics, two cities will share hosting duties in 2026. The XXV Olympic Winter Games will take place from February 6 through February 22, 2026.

Milan Cortina Winter Olympics kick off Feb. 6 with an Opening Ceremony at San Siro Stadium in Milan (with non-medal competition beginning Feb. 4).The 116 medal events — most in Winter Olympic history — will be scattered across Northern Italy from Milan in the west to Cortina d'Ampezzo in the east.

Alpine skiing will be divided between Cortina (for the women’s events) and Bormio (for the men) — which are separated by a 5 ½-hour drive. Livigno will host freestyle skiing and snowboarding, biathlon will be in Anterselva, Nordic events will be in Val di Fiemme and ice sports in Milan.
