Sweden competed at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, which was held from 6 to 22 February 2026. This is Sweden's 25th appearance at the Olympic Winter Games, having competed at every edition since the inaugural games in 1924 and having also won medals at every previous Winter Olympics.
Reigning Olympic champions Sara Hector and Walter Wallberg were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony, while Ebba Andersson, who won four medals in 2026, was the country's flagbearer during the closing ceremony.
Sweden matched their record 8 gold medals and 18 medals from 2022, but narrowly beat the medal count from those games by having 1 more silver (and 1 less bronze).
15 of Sweden's medals were won in women's events, with only two won in men's events and one in mixed. Sweden's cross-country skiing team led the way with ten medals, of which five were gold. The curling teams were also very successful, winning gold in two of the three curling events.
In the women's sprint event in cross-country skiing, the Swedish skiers Linn Svahn, Jonna Sundling and Maja Dahlqvist managed to win gold, silver and bronze respectively, which was the fourth time Sweden won a triple at a Winter Olympic event. The previous triples occurred in 1928, 1936 and 1948. (They also won a triple in figure skating at the 1908 Summer Olympics.)
