STAMFORD, Conn. – February 6, 2025 – Against the gorgeous backdrop of northern Italy, Team USA and the unprecedented Opening Ceremony, held throughout four distinct Italian locations, headline the primetime presentation of the Opening Ceremony of the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and Peacock.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6
NBC and Peacock will present primetime coverage of the Milan Cortina Olympic Opening Ceremony, starting tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and Peacock.
One of the most ambitious and complex Winter Olympic Opening Ceremonies ever will not only take place at San Siro Stadium in Milan, but will also have elements from other Olympic regions in northern Italy. The Parade of Athletes will see Olympic athletes marching from four different locations: Milan, Livigno, Predazzo, and Cortina. 2022 Beijing Olympic 500m speed skating gold medalist Erin Jackson and bobsledder Frank Del Duca will serve as Team USA flag bearers during the Opening Ceremony.
NBCU will employ five reporters throughout the Opening Ceremony, with global megastar Snoop Dogg stationed in Cortina, where he will interview Del Duca and members of the U.S. bobsledding team.
Britney Eurton (Cortina), Lewis Johnson (Milan), Tina Dixon (Livigno), and Nicole Auerbach (Predazzo) will also serve as on-site reporters.
Despite being 6,000 miles away, Olympic primetime host Mike Tirico will also contribute to the Opening Ceremony coverage from northern California, where he will be preparing to call Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8, from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif, on NBC and Peacock.
The Opening Ceremony will also likely serve as the last international sporting event at San Siro Stadium, home of both AC Milan and Inter Milan, which will be demolished after the Games.
