- NBC daytime coverage, with at least five hours of live event programming scheduled each day during the Games.
- “Primetime in Milan” on NBC, hosted by Mike Tirico, focused on major moments and daily storylines.
- USA Network and CNBC coverage added cable options for events including hockey, curling and snowboarding.
- Gold Zone returned as a whip-around show, with Andrew Siciliano also listed among its hosts.
Peacock Winter Olympics: Peacock remains central to NBC’s Olympic strategy
For viewers following the winter olympics 2026 without relying solely on a traditional TV schedule, Peacock served as a major destination for NBCUniversal’s Olympic coverage.

The streaming plan also included Gold Zone, which was available live on Peacock and NBCUniversal digital platforms during the Milan Cortina Olympics. That format was designed to move viewers quickly among notable events and live moments rather than requiring them to stay with one sport or venue.
