In the US right now, the Olympics are on NBC’s channels and apps, with Peacock as the main streaming home.

Quick Scoop: What channel does the Olympics come on?

For the current 2026 Winter Olympics (Milan–Cortina), here’s how it works in the United States:

  • NBC (the main broadcast network) – big events, prime-time coverage, and daily live blocks.
  • USA Network – lots of live events all day, including many medal rounds.
  • CNBC – additional live coverage, often niche or overflow events.
  • Peacock – streams every sport, every medal event, plus replays, highlights, and special shows.
  • NBC Sports / NBC apps and nbcolympics.com – simulcasts and extra streaming options.

If you’re not in the US, the channel depends on your country (for example: BBC/Eurosport in the UK, CBC/TSN in Canada, Nine Network in Australia, SuperSport in parts of Africa).

Simple rule of thumb

  • In the US with cable/antenna: start with NBC, then check USA Network and CNBC.
  • Streaming only: open Peacock and go to the Olympics section.
  • Anywhere else: search “Olympics broadcaster + your country” or check your national sports channel, since each region has its own official rights holder.
