The 2026 Winter Olympics kicked off last Wednesday with exciting curling showdowns, and the athletic action shifted into high gear this past weekend, with figure skating, ski jumping, luge, ice hockey and more events showcasing the world's greatest athletes.
This year's Milan-Cortina Winter Games marks Italy's fourth time hosting the Olympic Games. Events like ice hockey and figure skating are taking place in the northern city of Milan, while the Alpine city of Cortina d'Ampezzo is hosting alpine skiing, snowboarding and curling.
If you want to watch the 2026 Winter Games in their entirety, the best place for US audiences is Peacock. Every single sport and event is streaming live, but if you're wary of the time difference (Milan is six hours ahead of the East Coast), you can also watch full-event replays.
Each day's most popular events are also airing on NBC, USA and CNBC during the daytime hours, and NBC is broadcasting Primetime in Milan, a nightly show featuring the best competitions and highlights of the day.
