2026 Winter Olympics Parade of Nations

Flag bearers at the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony

During the Parade of Nations within the Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony, athletes and officials from each participating country marched in the San Siro Stadium preceded by their flag and placard bearer. Each flag bearer had been chosen either by the nation's National Olympic Committee or by the athletes themselves.

Parade order

By tradition, Greece entered first as the originator of the Olympics, ^[1] and Italy entered last as host. Per a new rule introduced by the International Olympic Committee at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, ^[2] the United States entered antepenultimate as the host of the 2034 Winter Olympics in Utah and France entered penultimate as the host of the 2030 Winter Olympics in the French Alps. All nations in between entered in the order of the host nation's language, Italian.

Taiwan, participating as Chinese Taipei marched under T rather than C. Czech Republic marched as Czechia; Turkey marched as Türkiye.

Participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes

Main article: Individual Neutral Athletes at the 2026 Winter Olympics

The Olympic Committees of Russia and Belarus remain suspended in the aftermath of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The International Olympic Committee announced in September 2025 that Russian and Belarusian athletes would be allowed to compete at the 2026 Games as "Individual Neutral Athletes" with no representation in the parade of nations under the same rules used at the 2024 Summer Olympics. ^[3]

Locations

With the games divided into four geographic clusters, the Parade of Nations was held in four locations: San Siro Stadium in Milan, the city centre in Cortina, Predazzo Ski Jumping Stadium in Predazzo, and Livigno Snow Park in Livigno. Nations were allowed to name two flagbearers, even if all their athletes were at one location; as host country, Italy had four. ^[4]

List

The following is a list of each country's flag bearer. The list is sorted by the sequence that each nation appeared in the parade of nations. ^[5] The names are given in their official designations by the IOC, and the Italian names follow their official designations by the Milano Cortina Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games.

This table is sortable by country name in English, country name in Italian, flag bearer name, and flag bearer sport.
