How to Watch Milano Cortina 2026 on Laptop / Desktop (Web Browser)

Quick answer

To watch the 2026 Olympics on Laptop / Desktop (Web Browser), install the Peacock app from your device's app store, sign in with Peacock Premium, and navigate to Sports > Olympics for live streams and replays.

Apps available

Peacock

Go to peacocktv.com in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge

NBC Olympics

Go to nbcolympics.com for select free highlights

YouTube TV

Go to tv.youtube.com in your browser

Step-by-step setup

  1. Open your preferred web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge).
  2. Go to peacocktv.com and sign in with your Peacock account.
  3. Navigate to Sports > Olympics for the full event schedule and live streams.
  4. To connect to your TV, use an HDMI cable from your laptop or cast via Chromecast.

Troubleshooting

Buffering: close other browser tabs, especially video-heavy ones. Ensure no one else on your network is downloading large files.

Video not loading: disable any ad blockers or VPN extensions, as they can interfere with Peacock's video player.

No sound: check that your browser tab is not muted (look for the speaker icon on the tab). Also check system volume.

Peacock NBC USA Network Watch Without Cable Free Ways to Watch

No app needed. Open your browser, go to peacocktv.com, sign in, and start streaming. A laptop is the most flexible way to watch the 2026 Winter Olympics — especially if you want to work and watch simultaneously.

Supported Browsers

Peacock works best on:

  • Google Chrome (recommended — most stable)
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Safari (Mac only)

Use the latest version of whichever browser you prefer. Peacock doesn’t support Internet Explorer (obviously) and can be glitchy on Brave due to its built-in ad blocker interfering with the stream.

Multi-View on Laptop

Peacock’s multi-view feature works on the web. During the Olympics, look for the Multi-View option in the Olympics hub — it lets you watch up to four streams at once in a grid layout. This is a laptop’s killer advantage: a big screen with multiple streams and no need for extra hardware.

Side-by-Side Watching + Working

On Windows, snap the browser to half your screen (Win + Left Arrow) and your work app to the other half. On Mac, use Split View (hold the green window button, select “Tile Window to Left of Screen”). Set Peacock to a lower resolution if your laptop struggles with multitasking — click the gear icon in the player and select 720p.

NBC and USA Network in Browser

Go to NBCOlympics.com for cable-authenticated streams of NBC and USA Network. You’ll need to sign in with your TV provider. The site also hosts free highlight clips and event schedules.

Troubleshooting

  • Stream buffering: Close other tabs. Each open tab eats RAM, and streaming demands a lot of it.
  • Black screen with audio: Disable hardware acceleration in your browser settings. This is the most common Peacock web player issue.
  • Can’t go full screen: Press F11 for full-screen browser mode, then use Peacock’s built-in full-screen button.
  • HDMI to TV: Connect your laptop to a TV with an HDMI cable for the big-screen experience. Most laptops from the last decade support this natively.
