20th edition of the Mediterranean Games
The 2026 Mediterranean Games (Italian : Giochi del Mediterraneo 2026 ), officially known as the XX Mediterranean Games (Italian: XX Giochi del Mediterraneo ) and commonly known as Taranto 2026 , is a forthcoming international multi-sport event that is scheduled to be held from 21 August to 3 September 2026 in Taranto , Italy. Taranto was announced as the host city at the ICMG General Assembly in Patras , Greece, on 24 August 2019.
The games were originally set to be held from June 13 to 23, but were moved back to August 21 to September 3 to avoid the peak summer weather, as well as to not clash with any other major sporting events, such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup , which would allow more high-level athletes to participate. [1]
Bidding process [ edit ]
In July 2019, the International Committee of Mediterranean Games (CIJM) announced the end of the candidature process and the sole candidate city, Taranto , for the 2026 Games,[2] [2] [3] [4] [5]
