With the 2026 Manitoba Winter Games just months away, organizers have announced a firm deadline for supporters wanting to secure their official gear before the opening ceremonies.

To ensure delivery prior to the Games kicking off in Thompson this March, orders must be placed by January 15, 2026.

The online store, managed by ONETeam Sports Group, offers branded apparel for athletes, families, and fans. While merchandise will also be available for purchase on-site during the event, the pre-order window provides the only guarantee that items will arrive in time for the start of the competition.

The Games, powered by Manitoba Hydro, are set to take over Thompson from March 1 to March 7, 2026. This marks the third time the Hub of the North has hosted the multi-sport event, which is expected to draw over 1,500 athletes and thousands of visitors to the region.

Residents and supporters can browse the catalog and place orders at the official online store.
