The Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Paralympics bring top para-athletes to the same Italian venues that hosted the Winter Olympics, and NBCUniversal plans its most extensive coverage yet. Fans in Florida can follow every sport, every medal event, and every major moment across NBC, Peacock, USA Network, CNBC, and digital platforms.
The Winter Paralympics open on Friday, March 6, with live coverage of the opening ceremony from Arena di Verona at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Peacock and USA Network. Pre-event coverage starts earlier in the afternoon to set the scene and introduce some of the athletes and storylines. This schedule applies in Florida because the state uses Eastern Time for its most populated regions.
Peacock Has All The Action
NBC will air a record number of hours from the Winter Paralympics, including highlight shows and selected live events, capped by live coverage of the sled hockey gold medal game on Sunday, March 15, at 11:05 a.m. Eastern. That game will air on NBC and Peacock and could feature Team USA chasing a fifth straight gold. NBC’s broadcast windows give Florida viewers a chance to see signature events on free over-the-air television.
Peacock will act as the streaming home of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Paralympics, offering live coverage of every sport and all 79 medal events. Peacock will also carry full-event replays, all NBC, USA Network, and CNBC programming, curated clips, and original shows. Florida fans can use Peacock to follow specific sports like alpine skiing, snowboarding, or sled hockey without worrying about local TV schedules.
USA Network Is The Home Of All The Linear Programming
USA Network and CNBC will provide additional live and taped coverage throughout the Games, with USA acting as a 24/7 hub for Team USA content and CNBC airing key sessions on weekends and evenings. NBC’s digital platforms, including NBCParalympics.com and the NBC Sports app, will stream coverage with TV provider authentication and offer schedules, results, and feature stories.
Florida viewers who want to see as much action as possible should subscribe to Peacock, confirm access to USA Network and CNBC through their cable, satellite, or streaming TV provider, and check the Paralympic listings page for daily updates. With multiple networks and full streaming coverage, fans across the state can support Paralympians from the opening ceremony to the final medal event.
