The main upcoming US men’s Olympic hockey games are scheduled for February 2026 in Milano-Cortina, with Team USA’s tournament starting on February 12.

Quick Scoop: When is the US hockey game?

Here’s the core men’s Team USA schedule for the 2026 Winter Olympics (times shown as local time in Italy / Eastern Time):

  • Thursday, Feb. 12 – USA vs. Latvia, 9:10 PM local / 3:10 PM ET.
  • Saturday, Feb. 14 – USA vs. Denmark, 9:10 PM local / 3:10 PM ET.
  • Sunday, Feb. 15 – USA vs. Germany, 9:10 PM local / 3:10 PM ET.

If Team USA advances, later-round games are set for:

  • Wednesday, Feb. 18 – Quarterfinal (USA vs. Sweden in the published bracket), 9:10 PM local / 3:10 PM ET.
  • Friday, Feb. 20 – Semifinal (USA vs. Slovakia), 9:10 PM local / 3:10 PM ET.
  • Sunday, Feb. 22 – Gold-medal game (USA vs. Canada), 2:10 PM local / 8:10 AM ET.

Because “US hockey game” can also mean NHL, World Championship, or women’s Olympic games, the exact answer depends on which event and date you care about. For anything other than the 2026 Olympic men’s team, you’d need to check the latest daily schedule page (for example, NHL’s scores hub or the official Olympic schedule) close to game day to get the correct today or tonight game time.

If you tell me whether you mean:

  • 2026 Olympic men’s or women’s Team USA, or
  • NHL (and which team), or
  • IIHF World Championship,

I can narrow it to the exact next US hockey game time in your preferred time zone.
