It's time to discover Oulu, the host city of the Barents Summer Games 2026! This vibrant city in Northern Finland combines Arctic nature, a maritime environment, and dynamic urban culture in a way that offers unforgettable experiences for both athletes and visitors.

The preparations for the Barents Summer Games 2026 are supported by the Barents Sports Development Project, which aims to strengthen expertise in event organization, responsibility, and shared operating models.

Oulu is preparing to host an international youth sports event as the Barents Summer Games 2026 will take place in the city in August 2026.

Over the past few days, representatives from Barents Sports have visited Oulu and Piteå to continue preparations for two major upcoming events: Barents Summer Games 2026 (BSG26) in Oulu and Barents Winter Games 2027 (BWG27) in Piteå.
