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 an upcoming international multi-sport event in the Mediterranean Games series 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 13 to 23 June, but were moved to 21 August to 3 September 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. The event return to its traditional 4-year cycle following the 2021 Mediterranean Games postponed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Venues will be spread across the city of Taranto, its namesake province, and the surrounding region of Apulia. Several venues will be newly built or renovated.

Taranto's main football stadium, Stadio Erasmo Iacovone, received a €63.7 million redevelopment for the Games.

The organising committee decided not to construct a permanent athletes village, and instead chose to have athletes hosted in the Aroya cruise ship docked at the Mar Grande Naval Station. Earlier planning had the intention to dock two cruise ships.

The organising committee will offer free admission (with a valid ticket) for several sports, including archery, badminton, bowls, boxing, canoeing, equestrian, judo, karate, padel, road cycling, roller sports, rowing, sailing, shooting, table tennis, taekwondo, triathlon, weightlifting and wrestling.

27 Olympic sports and disciplines will be contested and also 5 non-Olympic sports, with 5 team sports.

In addition, 2 demonstration sports were held.
