The 36th NATO summit is scheduled to take place in Ankara, Turkey, on July 7 and 8, 2026.
The event marks the second time the alliance has held its annual gathering in Turkey, following the 2004 summit in Istanbul.
The confirmed dates provide a fixed timeline for member states to finalize their diplomatic agendas ahead of the meeting.
The announcement comes as the Czech Republic faces a domestic constitutional dispute regarding the composition of its delegation.
The core issue centers on whether President Petr Pavel will be included in the official party, a decision that has become entangled in political friction between the presidency and the government.
The outcome of this internal debate could influence the tone of Prague’s participation in the alliance’s strategic discussions.
