Prince Harry‘s Invictus Games Foundation has announced a shortlist of host cities for the upcoming Invictus Games 2029. The successful host city for the Invictus Games 2029 will be announced in summer 2026, following a series of site visits and assessments with each shortlisted bid.

Each of the shortlisted cities demonstrated alignment with the Invictus Games’ core purpose of supporting the recovery and rehabilitation of international wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans, while also presenting credible plans to extend impact beyond the Games themselves, the organisation stated.

Rob Owen OBE, Chief Executive of the Invictus Games Foundation, said: “The quality, ambition and heart shown across all the bids for the Invictus Games 2029 has been truly inspiring. An unprecedented number of applications show a strong foundation for the future of the Invictus Games, and a collective belief in the power of the Invictus Movement.”
