2026 Winter Olympics Parade of Nations

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 antepenultimately as the host of the 2034 Winter Olympics, in Utah, and France entered penultimately 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. The Czech Republic and Turkey marched using their official short-form names: Czechia and Türkiye, respectively.

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]

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.
