If you haven’t caught curling fever yet, you’ve got just the excuse to catch the bug. The United States will be going for the gold medal in the mixed doubles event against Sweden this afternoon. While historical matchups between the two are limited, the stakes are undeniably high. Elsewhere, the U.S. Women’s hockey team is set for a highly anticipated clash with Canada, a rivalry that consistently delivers intense competition.
Tuesday also marks a return to the slopes, where American skiers Mikaela Shiffrin and Breezy Johnson will compete in the women’s team downhill slalom. The event is shadowed by the recent injury to Lindsey Vonn, who sustained a torn ACL two weeks prior. Her attempt to race despite the injury has sparked debate, with discussions centering on whether she should have even attempted to fix her skis given the severity of the injury. Vonn’s father has already publicly stated his expectations for her future racing schedule.
The Milan Cortina Games will continue through Sunday, February 22, encompassing a total of 119 events and awarding 245 medals. Fans can follow the action on NBC and through streaming on Peacock, requiring either a subscription or a cable login.

The Winter Games feature eight main sports encompassing sixteen disciplines. With such a broad range of events, keeping track can be challenging, but the schedule provides a clear roadmap for fans. The competition began on February 4th with preliminary matches, and will conclude with the closing ceremony on February 22nd. Following the Winter Games, the Paralympic Games will take place from March 6th to March 15th.
For viewers in the United States, it’s important to note the time difference. The venues in Italy are six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time and nine hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time. Which means many events will be broadcast live in the early morning hours for those on the East Coast, and even earlier for those on the West Coast.
NBC and Peacock will provide comprehensive coverage of the games, with NBC offering traditional broadcast coverage and Peacock providing streaming options. Peacock’s Multiview feature, popular during the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, will return, allowing viewers to watch multiple events simultaneously. A new feature, Rinkside Live, will offer viewers every angle of the action on any device. Veteran Olympic host Mike Tirico will lead the coverage, with assistance from Snoop Dogg.
