Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games Promotional Trailer Running at AMC Theatres Now
Tickets Available Jan. 23 at Participating Theaters and through Fandango
STAMFORD, Conn. – January 16, 2026 – NBCUniversal today announced that it will expand NBC’s daily live daytime coverage of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics to more than 150 AMC Theatres (NYSE: AMC) nationwide from February 6-22. Following a successful effort for the Paris Olympics in 2024, AMC will offer ticketed access to select live Olympic coverage in even more theaters nationwide, giving fans an opportunity to experience the Games together on the big screen. AMC is also currently showcasing a promotional trailer highlighting NBCUniversal’s upcoming coverage of the Games.
Beginning on February 6 -- the day of the Opening Ceremony -- theatregoers across the country will be able to watch select daytime hours of NBC’s live local coverage of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. Audiences can gather to experience the competition, drama, and emotion of the Winter Olympics with a communal, cinematic feel as events unfold in real time across northern Italy. For movie theatre audiences, coverage is expected to include figure skating, skiing, snowboarding, hockey, speed skating, and more.
As part of the agreement, a promotional trailer for NBCUniversal’s Milan Cortina 2026 coverage began running in participating theaters earlier this month. Tickets will be available at theater box offices and through Fandango starting January 23.
This expanded partnership builds on the success of NBCUniversal’s theatrical presentation of the 2024 Paris Olympics, when approximately 110 AMC locations screened live coverage throughout the Games.
