It’s that time, and once again NBC broadcast network and streaming service Peacock will be the primary platforms for coverage of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
Broadcast coverage begins with the Opening Ceremony from San Siro Stadium in Milan live on Friday, Feb. 6. Events actually begin with Curling at 10:05 a.m. PT on Wednesday, Feb. 4. Pre-Opening ceremony coverage can be found on Peacock. The Games run through Feb. 22.
NBC will provide fans with five hours of daytime coverage every day. With Italy six hours ahead of the United States’ Eastern Time Zone — which is identical to the situation with the Paris Games — the most popular events will air live on NBC every afternoon and on weekend mornings.
The entire Olympics is streaming live on Peacock. The service features every sport and event live — all 116 medal events — and will feature full-event replays plus all linear programming, including the NBC broadcast feed.
USA Network and CNBC will also provide coverage. USA will once again be the 24/7 home of Team USA while CNBC will provide coverage on the weekends and weekdays once its business day programming concludes.
Specific programming includes a three-hour Olympics primetime show, Primetime in Milan on NBC as well as Gold Zone and Multiview on Peacock.
