Germany competed at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, which was held from 6 to 22 February 2026, and it will be the nation's 14th appearance as a unified country at the Olympic Winter Games. Except for 1924 and 1948 in the aftermath of the World Wars. From 1956 through 1964, Germans competed as part of the United Team of Germany (UTG); in 1968, the team was split into two teams West Germany and East Germany. One year after the fall of the Berlin Wall, West and East Germany re-united as one country with their reunification in 1990, and it has participated in every Winter Olympics since Albertville 1992.
The team consisted of 185 athletes, 99 men and 86 women, along with four reserve athletes. It was the largest German contingent ever sent to these Winter Games.
Meanwhile, luge pair Tobias Arlt and Tobias Wendl were the country's flagbearer during the closing ceremony.
