what channel is covering the olympics
For the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan–Cortina, coverage depends on where you live, but in the US it’s centered on NBC’s platforms.
Main answer (US viewers)
- The primary TV channel is NBC , which will carry the biggest events and primetime shows.
- All events (every sport and medal event) are available via streaming on Peacock , NBCUniversal’s streaming service.
- USA Network and CNBC will also show a lot of live competitions, including qualifying rounds and many Team USA events.
- NBC will air the Opening Ceremony live on February 6, 2026, and then provide daily daytime and primetime coverage.
If you’re outside the US, the channel will vary by country (for example, Eurosport/Discovery in much of Europe, different national broadcasters elsewhere), so you’d need to check your local listings or your country’s Olympic broadcaster site.
