2086

Twenty-first century year

2086 is a year in the 21st century, distant enough to feel like science fiction but close enough that children born today may live to see it.

Like other future years, it appears in projections, forecasts, and speculative fiction: By 2086, sea levels could rise significantly.

The number occasionally appears as a model designation, code, or identifier.
