2026 Winter Olympics Event Locations, TV Schedule, Live Stream and Predictions

The 2026 Winter Olympics are officially underway. Even though the Opening Ceremony won't be held until Friday evening in Milan, events began on Wednesday, including round-robin curling and Alpine skiing men's downhill training. 

The Milano Cortina 2026 Games are the biggest ever: they feature more athletes (approximately 2,800), more sports (16) and more medal events (116) than any previous Winter Olympics. They are also the most widespread; the distance between the two host cities of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo is approximately 250 miles, and other cities such as Livigno, Bormio and Verona will also host events and ceremonies. 

Let's take a closer look at the locations of the Winter Olympics venues across Italy, as well as the schedule of events, how you can tune in and which nations will take home the most medals.

Medal Predictions

Most Gold Medals Odds

Norway (-195)

United States (+350)

Germany (+650)

Norway has consistently been the odds-on favorite to bring home the most gold medals at the 2026 Winter Olympics, and history proves why. Norway has 405 Winter Olympics medals overall, 148 gold. The United States is next with 330 total, 114 gold. 

At the end of January, Norway was, of course, the gold-medal favorite, followed by Germany and then the United States. However, as of Feb. 4, the U.S. has moved up to the second-highest odds. 

Prediction: The U.S. has a strong chance to claim gold medals in events such as women's halfpipe snowboarding, snowboard cross, men's halfpipe skiing, men's slopestyle and big air skiing, figure skating, speed skating, Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, bobsled and potentially women's and men's ice hockey. A second-place finish behind Norway in the gold medal haul seems likely.
