The Jamaican bobsled team’s next major appearance is at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, where all Olympic bobsleigh events run from 12–22 February 2026 at the Cortina Sliding Centre.

Quick Scoop: When they compete

For the 2026 Winter Games, Jamaica has qualified quotas in:

  • Women’s monobob
  • Two-man bobsleigh
  • Four-man bobsleigh

The official Olympic schedule groups all bobsleigh events (including Jamaica’s heats) within this overall window:

  • Start of bobsleigh competitions: 12 February 2026
  • End of bobsleigh competitions: 22 February 2026
    All runs for Jamaica’s sleds will be slotted into that period, with exact heat times published by Olympic broadcasters and schedule pages closer to or during the Games.

Typical viewing plan

If you’re trying to watch “when the Jamaican bobsled team competes,” here’s how it usually works at these Games:

  1. Check the bobsleigh section of the Milano Cortina 2026 schedule and filter by Jamaica or by event (monobob, two-man, four-man). These pages list exact dates and session times.
  2. Look at broadcaster schedules (like NBC/Peacock in the U.S.) which often show bobsleigh blocks labeled “two-man heats” or “four-man heats,” and note Jamaica’s sled in the start lists.
  1. Expect multiple runs over two days per event, often split between morning and evening sessions local time.

Forum & “trending topic” angle

Bobsleigh—and especially the Jamaican team because of the “Cool Runnings” legacy—tends to spike on social platforms during:

  • Opening days of sliding events (first Jamaican sled on track)
  • Medal-deciding heats in two-man and four-man
  • Any surprise podium or crash/save moments that get replayed in highlight clips.

Sports blogs and fan forums have already framed 2026 as a kind of “Cool Runnings reboot,” pointing out that Jamaica has become a more serious, consistently qualifying program, not just a novelty team, thanks to recent podiums on the North American Cup circuit.

TL;DR:
They compete during the bobsleigh events at the 2026 Winter Olympics, held from 12–22 February 2026 at the Cortina Sliding Centre in Italy; Jamaica is entered in women’s monobob, two-man, and four-man within that window.
