The 2026 Winter Olympics are set to take place in Milan-Cortina, Italy, with NBC and Peacock leading the way as the main broadcasters for the U.S. audience.
Live coverage will kick off with the Opening Ceremony at Milan’s San Siro Stadium, though the competition begins two days prior with curling events starting at 10:05 a.m. PT on Wednesday, February 4. The Olympic Games will continue through February 22.
Every day, NBC is slated to deliver five hours of daytime coverage. Given the time difference of six hours ahead of the Eastern Time Zone in the U.S. — the same time difference as the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris — NBC plans to broadcast the most anticipated events live each afternoon and during weekend mornings.
Peacock will stream the entire Olympics live. This includes all 116 medal events, full-event replays, and all regular programming, such as the live NBC feed.
Additional coverage will be available on USA Network and CNBC, which will feature round-the-clock coverage of Team USA. CNBC will cover the Olympics during weekends and after its regular business programming concludes on weekdays.
Highlighted programming includes a three-hour primetime Olympics show, Primetime in Milan, on NBC, along with Gold Zone and Multiview on Peacock.
Check out the schedule below for a detailed look at the broadcasting times.
