You can watch the men’s Olympic ice hockey tournament on the official Olympic broadcasters in your country, plus major sports streaming platforms that hold Winter Games rights.

Main options (especially for the U.S.)

For the 2026 Milan–Cortina Winter Olympics, men’s hockey games are being shown on:

  • NBC, USA Network, and CNBC on traditional TV.
  • Peacock (paid streaming), which carries every Olympic event live, including all men’s and women’s hockey games.
  • NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com, and the NBC / NBC Sports apps if you sign in with a participating cable or live‑TV subscription.

In practice, if you’re in the U.S., the simplest way is:

  1. Subscribe to Peacock, then go to the Olympics or “Hockey” hub in the app or at PeacockTV.com/Olympics.
  1. Or, use your cable/YouTube TV/Hulu Live login on NBCOlympics.com or the NBC Sports app to stream specific games.

Other countries

Outside the U.S., the Olympics are shown by different official “media rights holders” in each territory (for example, public broadcasters or major sports networks).

  • The International Olympic Committee lists all official Winter Olympics broadcasters by country on its “Where to Watch Winter Olympics 2026” page; check that page, then go to the listed TV channel or app to find the hockey schedule.
  • Many countries also offer free or low‑cost streaming through their national broadcaster’s website or app once you’re inside that country.

Quick example: forum-style info

On hockey forums, fans in:

  • The U.S. talk about using Peacock’s dedicated Olympics hub to follow every men’s and women’s game, with spoiler‑hiding features and full schedules.
  • Canada often mention CBC and its digital platforms as their go‑to home for Olympic hockey coverage.

“Most of the men’s group matches kick off at 3 p.m. Eastern time” – one fan notes, planning to binge games later via streaming and dodge spoilers.

How to figure it out fast where you live

  1. Go to the IOC’s official “Where to Watch Winter Olympics 2026 Live” page and select your country.
  1. Note the TV channel(s) and streaming app(s) listed there.
  1. Search inside that app or site for “ice hockey” or “men’s hockey schedule” to see live and replay options.

TL;DR: In most places, you’ll watch men’s Olympic hockey on your country’s official Olympic broadcaster (U.S.: NBC/USA/CNBC) and its streaming app (U.S.: especially Peacock).
