Vietnam's women's team finished ninth at the 2026 Chess Olympiad after a 3-1 final-round loss to China. VnExpress said it was the women's second top-10 finish at the event.

The men's team drew Kazakhstan 2-2 in its final round and won gold in Group B, a category based on initial seed ratings rather than the overall open championship. Combined men's and women's results placed Vietnam 12th.
