Winter Summer 2034 Winter Paralympics |
The 2034 Winter Olympics, officially known as XXVII Olympic Winter Games, is an upcoming international multi-sport event scheduled to take place from 10 to 26 February 2034. [1] The host city will be elected at the 142nd IOC Session in Paris on 23 July 2024, the eve of the 2024 Summer Olympics. [2]
The new IOC bidding process was approved at the 134th IOC Session on 24 June 2019 in Lausanne, Switzerland. The key proposals, driven by the relevant recommendations from Olympic Agenda 2020, are: [3] [4]
The IOC also modified the Olympic Charter to increase its flexibility by removing the date of election from 7 years before the games, and changing the host from a single city/region/country to multiple cities, regions, or countries.
The full composition of the Winter Commissions, overseeing interested hosts or with potential hosts where the IOC may want to create interest, is as follows: [5]

According to the Future Host Commission's rules of conduct, the new IOC bidding system is divided into 2 dialogue stages: [6]
Non-committal discussions between the IOC and interested parties (City/Region/Country/NOC interested in hosting) with regard to hosting future Olympic events.
During the Olympic Summit on 9 December 2022 the IOC informed to remain in "Continuous Dialogue" with several well-developed projects by parties that have expressed interest in the Olympic Winter Games 2030 and with whom intense collaboration is ongoing. The Summit was also informed that the Commission is looking into challenges and opportunities facing future Olympic Winter Games, such as the impact of climate change. A number of proposals which could have an impact on future elections were discussed, including rotation of the Games within a certain pool of hosts, minimum climate conditions and existing infrastructure criteria.
Upon the request of the Commission, the IOC Executive Board decided to give the Commission more time to study all these factors to make the best possible decisions about future hosting, including a revised 2030 election timeframe. [7]
Targeted discussions with one or more interested parties (called preferred host(s)), as instructed by the IOC Executive Board. This follows a recommendation by the Future Host Commission as a result of continuous dialogue.
Following a recommendation by the International Olympic Committee (IOC)'s Future Host Commission for the Olympic Winter Games, the IOC Executive Board (EB) on 29 November 2023 invited the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPCF) into "Targeted Dialogue" towards hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2034 in Salt Lake City. [8]
Stakeholders are those cities or regions that have expressed potential interest in hosting the Games.

Site of the 2002 Winter Olympics, the 2002 Winter Paralympics and the 2007 Winter Deaflympics. In June 2022 the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee named Salt Lake City, Utah as America's Choice for a future Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. [9] The Salt Lake City-Utah Committee for the Games was formed in February 2020 to pursue a bid for 2030 or 2034. [10] The committee bolstered its engagement with athletes in governance in June 2021, naming four-time Olympic speed skater Catherine Raney-Norman as its chair. [11] In February 2020, following the announcement of Sapporo's bid, the organizing committee for the Salt Lake City bid was considered moving their intention to bid for the 2034 Games as the Summer Games are scheduled for Los Angeles in 2028. [12] At the first meeting in June 2021, the organizing committee considered whether it should change the bid for 2030 or 2034. [13] The decision for Salt Lake City on the bidding for 2030 or 2034 Winter Olympics could be made after Beijing 2022 ending. President and chief executive of the Salt Lake City bid committee Fraser Bullock mentioned that the small window between the Los Angeles 2028 and a potential Salt Lake City 2030 Games could be a real difficulty to manage and that the feasibility study for this is still ongoing. [14] The IOC sent a delegation to Salt Lake City, from 27 to 29 April 2022, to conduct an inspection and a technical site visit of the competitions, ceremonies and Olympic Village venues. [15] Bullock confirmed at a meeting on 1 November 2022 that "SLC considers the upcoming process is focused on 2030 and SLC will fully participate in that process to hopefully get either the 2030 or 2034 Olympics". [16] In November 2023, the IOC listed Salt Lake City as a preferred host for the 2034 Winter Olympic Games. [17] | |||||
In December 2022, the German Olympic Sports Confederation annonced they would explore a bid for Munich to host the 2034 Winter Olympics and the 2036 Summer Olympics (although for the latter, Berlin would eventually be preferred for the German bid). If this bid was successful, this would be the second time an Olympic event would be held in Munich, with the city previously hosting the 1972 Summer Olympics. [18] Munich previously bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics, losing to Pyeongchang.
On 19 February 2023, Peter Kaiser, the governor of Carinthia, announced that plans for a joined bid by the austrian state of Carinthia, alongside Italian Region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Slovenia. [19] A similar bid had been proposed for the 2006 Winter Olympics, eventually losing to Turin. The prepartions for the bid were later confirmed by the Slovenian minister of sports, Matjaž Han. [20] On 25 March, Italian politician and head of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region, Massimiliano Fedriga confirmed these plans. [21] On 11 April 2024, Peter Kaiser announced that a joint bid would be prepared for the 2028 Winter Youth Olympics. If selected, these Winter Youth Olympics would work as a test for an eventual hosting of the Winter Olympics. [22]
