Great Britain competed at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, from 6 to 22 February 2026. A total of 53 athletes (30 men and 23 women) were selected to compete at the Games. Great Britain finished 15th in the medal table after winning five medals in total: three gold, one silver and one bronze. Team GB's medal table finishing position was an improvement of four places over their position in the previous four Winter Olympic Games where they had come 19th each time. The total of five medals won was the joint best haul for a British team at Winter Olympics, matching the five achieved in 2014 in Sochi and in 2018 in PyeongChang. This was the first Winter Olympics where Great Britain won multiple gold medals, making it Great Britains' most successful Winter Olympics by that metric.
For the first time, Great Britain won more than one gold medal at a single Winter Olympic Games, when Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale secured gold in the mixed relay snowboard cross event, to add to the gold won by Matt Weston in the men's individual skeleton. It was Britain's first ever Olympic gold medal on snow, as all previous gold medals had been won on ice.
Weston's gold made him the first British male to win Winter Olympic gold since Christopher Dean in 1984, and the first individual male to win gold for Great Britain since Robin Cousins in 1980, both in figure skating.
Hours after Bankes and Nightingale's victory, Weston, with Tabitha Stoecker, won the skeleton mixed team event for an unprecedented third gold at a single Games for Great Britain. Stoecker, who was competing at her first Winter Olympics, became the third British female skeleton racer in history to win a gold medal, after Amy Williams and Lizzy Yarnold.
Simultaneously, Weston became the first Winter Olympic athlete to win multiple golds at a single Games for Great Britain,Technically, Weston was the first British athlete to win multiple medals of any colour at a single Winter Olympics. However Madge Syers won two figure skating medals at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London when no separate Winter Games yet existed, and these medals are now usually treated as Winter Olympic medals statistically. the most successful male skeleton rider in Olympic history, and the joint most successful British Winter Olympic athlete, alongside fellow skeleton champion Yarnold.
On 19 February, the men's curling team led by Bruce Mouat won their semi-final match against Switzerland to reach the final, guaranteeing a fourth medal for Great Britain at the games, thereby meeting the UK Sport medal target of between 4 and 8 medals for the Games. However, Mouat and his team were defeated in the gold medal match by Canada 9–6 meaning the male British curlers would have to settle for silver for the second Olympics in succession. Mouat also suffered disappointment in the mixed doubles event with Jennifer Dodds after finishing fourth after losing the Bronze medal match for the second Olympics in a row. There was also further disappointment for Dodds as the women's curling team were eliminated in the round robin stage failing to make the semi-finals.
On 22 February, Zoe Atkin won bronze in the women's halfpipe, the first ever medal for Britain in this event. This brought GB's total medals to five, equalling their best ever total medal haul. Aktin's sister Izzy Atkin had previously won an Olympic bronze medal for Great Britain at the 2018 games in ski slopestyle
The total of five medals equalled Great Britain's best ever medal haul, and having gained three golds, more than any previous Winter Olympics, made this Great Britain's best ever performance at a Winter Olympics. Great Britain finished 15th in the overall medal table. This was an improvement of four places compared to the 2022 Games. This was Great Britain's best finish on the medal table since the 1984 games in Sarajevo.
