The 2026 Winter Olympics will occur in Italy, specifically in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. This event marks Italy’s fourth hosting of the Winter Games, with Turin last hosting in 2006. The games will feature 16 sports, including returning favorites like figure skating and Alpine skiing, alongside a new addition: snow mountaineering. Live coverage will be available on Peacock and NBC starting February 6, 2026.
Viewers can expect extensive live streaming options through Peacock due to the time difference between Italy and the U.S., which may require early morning or late-night viewing for many events. The opening ceremony is scheduled for February 6 at approximately 2 PM ET.
