The Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games are hitting the slopes of Italy, and New Jersey will be well represented. 

Taking place Feb. 6–22 in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, the theme of the worldwide event is “It’s Your Vibe.” Organizers say the “motto encompasses the shared nature of the Games, aiming to celebrate the energy, passion and connection between every person associated with Milano Cortina 2026: athletes, fans, volunteers and many more.” 

Fans can watch the games on NBC and can also see competition replays online. The network will stream events on Peacock, NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com, the NBC app and the NBC Sports app. 

The network is also once again partnering with AMC Theatres to offer ticketed access to select live Olympic coverage at more than 150 theaters nationwide. The showings follow a successful effort launched for the Paris Olympics in 2024.

NBC will broadcast the opening ceremony at 2 p.m. ET on local NBC stations Feb. 6. The event will then be televised at 8 p.m. ET that evening.

Some events kicked off prior to the opening show. 

The Garden State sent four athletes to compete in the events, according to Team USA.
