The 2026 Winter Olympics are scheduled to be held in northern Italy, centered around Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, with additional venues in other mountain clusters across the region. The event is planned for February 2026, running roughly from February 6 to February 22, and will utilize a mix of existing venues, renovated facilities, and a few new builds, spread across multiple clusters including Milan, Cortina d’Ampezzo, the Valtellina area, and the Val di Fiemme area, with Verona hosting the closing events. The Games are designed to be geographically expansive, making use of about 25 venues across four main clusters, and are expected to feature ceremonies and competitions in venues such as Milan’s urban arenas and the Cortina Dolomites resorts, among others.
