Bidding Calendars
The IOC Executive Board met in Lausanne, Switzerland to discuss the 2026 bid process on 9 June 2017. For the 2026 candidature process, the IOC will take a more proactive role in assisting and supporting cities considering a candidature. The IOC will customize its approach to the needs of the cities in order for them to develop the best value proposition. These measures will lead to a simplified process for the cities, with reduced costs. The Invitation Phase has been extended to one year, starting in September 2017, and the Candidature Phase has been shortened to one year, starting from 2018 to 2019. The new approach was approved at the Extraordinary IOC Session on July 11-12, 2017.
