How to Watch Biathlon — Milano Cortina 2026

Quick answer

Biathlon at Milano Cortina 2026 airs on Peacock (every event live) and NBC (prime-time highlights). Use Peacock for full coverage; NBC for curated prime-time viewing.

Biathlon combines cross-country skiing and rifle marksmanship — and once you start watching, the tension of each shooting stage is surprisingly addictive. The 2026 races take place at Anterselva, a world-class venue that regularly hosts World Cup events.

Where to Watch

  • Peacock: Every race streams live — individual, sprint, pursuit, mass start, relay, and mixed relay.
  • USA Network: Select races during the daytime window, though biathlon rarely gets priority over alpine or skating.
  • NBC: Unlikely to appear in prime time unless an American contender is in medal position.

When Events Air

Biathlon races typically start at 2:00–3:00 p.m. local Italian time (8:00–9:00 a.m. ET). That’s a reasonable morning window for U.S. viewers — queue it up with your coffee.

To find biathlon coverage, open Peacock and go to Sports > Olympics > Biathlon. Replays post within an hour of each race finishing.
