Long-track speed skating is a full two-week affair at Milano Cortina 2026, with events ranging from the 500m sprint to the grueling 10,000m. The Baselga di Piné Oval hosts the action, and the sheer number of events means sessions run almost daily.

Where to Watch

  • Peacock: Every race streams live — 500m through 10,000m, plus team pursuit and mass start.
  • USA Network: Most sessions air during the daytime live block. Speed skating’s steady schedule makes it a reliable fixture on USA Network.
  • NBC: The 500m and 1000m finals occasionally make prime time, particularly if a U.S. skater is in medal contention.

When Events Air

Speed skating sessions in Italy typically run from 3:00–5:00 p.m. local time (9:00–11:00 a.m. ET). That mid-morning window is one of the best in the entire Olympic schedule — late enough that you’re awake, early enough that you’re not at peak work hours.

In Peacock, go to Sports > Olympics > Speed Skating and browse by event distance or session date.
