Lululemon unveiled a new athlete kit for Team Canada ahead of the 2026 Winter Games, launching online on Nov. 18 and in select stores on Nov. 19. The announcement marks the company’s third official partnership with the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Committees, following its outfitting of the team for the Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022 Games.
The collection showcases Lululemon’s latest thermoregulation technology, designed to keep athletes warm in sub‑freezing conditions while allowing moisture to escape. Adaptive features such as adjustable ventilation panels and inclusive sizing options reflect the brand’s commitment to accessibility for athletes of all body types.
Design inspiration draws from Canada’s rugged landscapes, with color palettes echoing the snowy peaks of the Rockies and the aurora‑lit skies of the north. The kit will be worn by a roster of high‑profile athletes, including hockey legend Sidney Crosby, sprinter Cynthia Appiah, and Paralympic champion William Dandjinou, among others.
By partnering with Team Canada, Lululemon positions itself in the premium Olympic apparel market, a segment that historically drives strong brand visibility and consumer interest during the Games. The move also signals the company’s broader strategy to expand beyond its core yoga and running apparel into performance sports that demand high‑tech fabrics and design.
Lululemon’s leadership highlighted the partnership as a key milestone in its growth plan. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to innovation and to supporting athletes at the highest level,” said Lululemon CEO Calvin McDonald. “The 2026 kit will showcase our latest material science breakthroughs and reinforce our brand’s presence on the world stage.”
While the announcement does not include financial figures, analysts note that Lululemon’s recent quarterly results have shown steady revenue growth and margin expansion, suggesting the company has the resources to invest in high‑profile partnerships such as this.
