<P> This is a list of host cities of the Olympic Games and Youth Olympic Games , both summer and winter , since the modern Olympics began in 1896 . Since then , summer games have usually -- but not always -- celebrated a four - year period known as an Olympiad . There have been 28 Summer Olympic Games held in 23 cities , and 23 Winter Olympic Games held in 20 cities . In addition , three summer and two winter editions of the Games were scheduled to take place but later cancelled due to war : Berlin ( summer ) in 1916 ; Tokyo / Helsinki ( summer ) and Sapporo / Garmisch - Partenkirchen ( winter ) in 1940 ; and London ( summer ) and Cortina d'Ampezzo , Italy ( winter ) in 1944 . The 1906 Summer Olympics were officially sanctioned and held in Athens . However , in 1949 , the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) , decided to unrecognize the 1906 Games . The Youth Olympic Games are held every four years in staggered summer and winter events consistent with the current Olympic Games format , though in reverse order with Winter Games held in leap years instead of Summer Games . The first summer version was held in Singapore from 14 to 26 August 2010 while the first winter version was held in Innsbruck , Austria from 13 to 22 January 2012 . The age limitation of the athletes is 14 to 18 . Jacques Rogge , IOC President , formally announced plans for the Youth Olympic Games at the 119th IOC session in Guatemala City on 6 July 2007 . There are several goals for the YOG , and four of them include bringing together the world 's best young athletes , offering an introduction into Olympism , innovating in educating and debating Olympic values . The city of Singapore was announced as the host of the inaugural Summer Youth Olympics on 21 February 2008 . On 12 December 2008 the IOC announced that Innsbruck , host of the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics , would be the host of the inaugural Winter Youth Olympics in 2012 . Seven cities have been chosen by the IOC to host upcoming Olympic Games and Youth Olympic Games : Buenos Aires for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics , Lausanne for the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics , Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Olympics , Beijing for the 2022 Winter Olympics , either Abuja , Dakar , Gaborone or Tunis for the 2022 Summer Youth Olympics , Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics , and Los Angeles for the 2028 Summer Olympics . </P>
