NBC Olympics Schedule 2026 USA Primetime Coverage and Live Stream
Though some events have already gotten underway, the 2026 Winter Olympics officially kick off on Friday with the Opening Ceremony, with coverage on NBC and Peacock beginning at 1:40 p.m. ET (7:40 p.m. CET).
Because Milano Cortina 2026 is the biggest Winter Olympics of all time, with 16 sports and 116 medal events spread out over 15 venues, it's no surprise that longtime U.S. Olympics broadcaster NBC has planned more extensive coverage than in any past Winter Games, both live on TV (NBC, USA Network and/or CNBC) as well as streaming on Peacock.
What follows is the schedule for NBC's daily primetime coverage, as well as information for how to tune in.
Here's how you can make sure to tune in for every medal event live. (Hint: set your alarm clock!)
The schedule for every event, including training and qualifiers, can be found on nbcolympics.com.
NBC Olympics Primetime Coverage
1 of 1
Unlike many of the previous Winter Olympics, the time difference between the East Coast of the U.S. and Milan is only six hours, meaning many events will be shown live during daytime hours in the U.S.
NBC will also have a block of primetime programming each night to air re-air all the day's most important events and moments, but note that much of this programming will not be live.
