New Delhi will host the 18th BRICS Summit in 2026. The summit is scheduled to take place from September 12 to 13, 2026, at Bharat Mandapam. India is hosting the BRICS Summit for the fourth time, having previously hosted the event in 2012, 2016 and 2021. The theme for the 2026 summit is “Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability.” The summit reflects the expanding scope of BRICS, which has evolved from its original BRIC grouping of Brazil, Russia, India and China to a broader platform addressing economic cooperation, global governance, development, technology, climate action and other Global South priorities.
