You can watch men’s Olympic ice hockey at the 2026 Winter Games on major national broadcasters and official Olympic streaming platforms, depending on where you live.

Main ways to watch (quick answer)

  • United States
    • TV: NBC, CNBC, USA Network.
* Streaming: Peacock (full live coverage of hockey and other events), plus authenticated streaming on NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com, the NBC app, and the NBC Sports app if you have cable or a live TV login.
  • Canada
    • TV: CBC/Radio-Canada and sports partners such as Sportsnet and TSN typically carry live men’s hockey games.
* Streaming: CBC Gem usually offers free streaming of many Olympic events, with Sportsnet+ and TSN’s apps covering additional games.
  • Official Olympic platforms (global)
    • The official Olympics site and app list country‑by‑country broadcast partners and often host a “Where to watch” portal for Milan–Cortina 2026, including hockey.
* These pages point you to the correct TV channels or streaming services in your region so you can catch every men’s hockey match live or on replay.

Mini guide: finding coverage in your country

If you’re outside North America, here’s how to quickly track down where to watch men’s Olympic hockey:

  1. Go to the official Milano–Cortina 2026 or Olympics.com “Where to watch” page, which lists broadcast partners by region and often highlights upcoming hockey games like Latvia vs. USA or other group matches.
  1. Note the broadcaster or streaming platform named for your country (for example, Eurosport/Discovery in parts of Europe, national public broadcasters elsewhere).
  1. Check that broadcaster’s sports/Olympics section; they usually have a dedicated schedule page listing the men’s tournament dates (February 11–22 for the men’s event) and which channel or stream each game will be on.

Example: In the U.S., the general hockey schedule runs February 5–22, with the men’s tournament from February 11–22, and every men’s game can be streamed live on Peacock once you sign in and go to the Olympics section.

Streaming tips and current buzz

  • Many fans are choosing single‑month subscriptions (like Peacock in the U.S.) just for the Games, because these platforms promise “every event live,” including all men’s group games, quarterfinals, semifinals and the gold‑medal match.
  • Forum discussions this year often mention that public broadcasters (like CBC in Canada) give broad free access, while pay services add extra feeds, alternate camera angles and spoiler‑free replays for hockey obsessives.
  • Official schedule pages are updated daily and show which men’s games are coming up “Watch soon,” with links to the correct live stream or channel for your region.

Quick checklist before puck drop

  • Confirm your time zone vs. local game time (many men’s games are daytime in Europe but morning or very early in North America).
  • Make sure you have:
    • An active account on the right streaming app (Peacock, CBC Gem, your local Olympic broadcaster’s app, etc.).
* Access to the right TV channels (NBC/CNBC/USA in the U.S., CBC/Sportsnet/TSN in Canada, or your regional Olympic partner).
