Italy will host the Winter Olympics for a third time - after Cortina in 1956 and Turin in 2006 - but Milano Cortina 2026 is uniquely ambitious: it is the first edition to truly operate as a multi-territory event, with clusters in Milan, Cortina and beyond.

Milan will host the majority of ice sports - figure skating, ice hockey, short track and speed skating - while the Dolomites and Italian Alps will carry the snow events, including alpine skiing, cross-country and the debut of ski mountaineering.

The Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games take place from Friday, February 6 to Sunday, February 22.

However, the Games technically begin on Wednesday, February 4 with the curling mixed doubles round-robin, while there are also women's ice hockey preliminaries and men's snowboard big air qualification before the opening ceremony.
