Road to the 2026 USA Games
Team Mississippi is on the road to the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games — where determination, courage, and unity will take center stage. Hosted in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, the Games will bring together thousands of athletes from across the nation to showcase the power of inclusion through sport.
Our Mississippi athletes are training hard to represent our state with pride, heart, and perseverance. Every stride, every throw, every finish line crossed tells a story of resilience and community. Join us in cheering on Team Mississippi as they prepare for this unforgettable journey — one that celebrates ability, friendship, and the true spirit of the Games.
Together, we are Champions. Together, we are Mississippi Strong.
