2034 Winter Olympics: History and Background

The 2034 Winter Olympics, officially the XXVII Olympic Winter Games, and branded as Utah 2034, is a future international multi-sport event scheduled to take place in the U.S. state of Utah from February 10 to 26, 2034.

The Future Host Commission of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) initially nominated Salt Lake City as its preferred candidate on November 29, 2023. The bid was approved on July 24, 2024, during the 142nd IOC Session in Paris, France, and the games were eventually branded to Utah 2034 in November 2025 to better reflect the surrounding areas also hosting venues. They will be the fifth Winter Olympics, and tenth overall, to be hosted by the United States; having previously hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, Salt Lake City will join St. Moritz, Lake Placid, Innsbruck, and Cortina d'Ampezzo as the fifth city to have hosted or co-hosted multiple Winter Olympic Games. This will also be the first Olympics held in the United States that will be branded under a host U.S. state instead of a city.
