2026 Winter Olympics Schedule Breakdown (Milan-Cortina)
The 2026 Winter Olympics run from February 6 to February 22, 2026, and this guide is your go‑to roadmap for watching every moment. Across 15 sports and multiple venues in Italy, we’ve organized the action into three easy viewing blocks—Week 1 (Feb 6–12), Week 2 (Feb 13–19), and Week 3 (Feb 20–22). For each week, you’ll see when to tune in (Mountain Time, MT unless noted), which events are happening.
You’ll also find can’t‑miss highlights for U.S. fans, including key appearances from Team USA in women’s and men’s hockey, freestyle skiing, snowboarding, figure skating, and more—especially in traditional U.S. strongholds like freestyle, snowboarding, and women’s hockey. Some training runs and early prelims begin Feb 4–5 (such as alpine skiing downhill), and every event will be available live on Peacock and NBCOlympics.com, with select coverage on NBC and USA Network
