The next Summer Olympics will take place in Tokyo.

The 2020 Games will begin July 24 and conclude August 9. Tokyo will be well-equipped to support the event, as it hosted the 1964 Games.

Since the Summer Games in 1964, Japan also hosted the Sapporo Winter Olympics in 1972 and the Nagano Winter Olympics in 1998.

After the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 2018 and the Tokyo Summer Olympics in 2020, Asia will host its third successive games in 2022, when the Winter Olympics head to Beijing.

Beijing hosted the Summer Games in 2008 and will become the first city to host both the Summer Games and the Winter Games.
