Peacock Adds Unprecedented, Fan-First Features – Rinkside Live and Courtside Live – for NBC Sports’ Coverage of the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games and the NBA

As the comprehensive streaming home of the Olympics in the U.S., Peacock will present thousands of hours of NBC Sports’ coverage of the Winter Games from Feb. 6-22 through a dedicated Olympics hub tailored to both avid and casual fans and building on its mission to deliver innovative, immersive, fan-first experiences. New on Peacock for the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympic Games is Rinkside Live, a first-of-its-kind offering that will amplify the streaming experience of two marquee sports, ice hockey and figure skating, to include new angles of some of the biggest moments of the Olympics. During select events, curated camera angles on Peacock on mobile will give fans the unique vantage point of live, behind-the-scenes footage of athletes’ Olympics moments. On TV and web, fans will be able to view these same curated angles in a Multiview experience. 

• For select figure skating events, camera options will include “Coaching Cam,” which will offer a view of each skater's coaching area, while a fitness cam captures the “Training Room,” revealing the intensity and emotion as elite athletes prepare for their Olympic moment.   

• Ice hockey fans can experience “Bench Cam” for select games, which will stay locked on each team's bench throughout the game to capture player reactions and heated rivalries, including real-time celebrations of goals.   

• Rinkside Live will also offer a “Highlights Hub” for ice hockey and figure skating, delivering vertical video playlists of Winter Olympics Highlights to fans tuning in on mobile, so they can catch up on key moments. 

Popular features from Peacock’s award-winning Paris Olympics experience will return for the Milan Cortina Games, including Gold Zone, Discovery Multiview, Live Actions, in-page sports hubs, interactive schedule, medal standings and expanded search. Peacock’s Live in Browse feature and real-time Winter Olympics Highlights in vertical video, which both launched last year, will be available for live events during the Olympics. The new Olympics mini-games on the Peacock mobile app will include specific Prediction Games for figure skating and ice hockey; a daily Olympics Picks game spanning multiple events each day; and Olympics trivia, which will feature questions about athletes, sports and the history of the Olympics. 

First announced last year, Courtside Live is a new NBA viewing experience available on TV and mobile that brings fans into the arena and connects them with the culture around the league. Courtside Live will debut during the 2026 NBA US vs World All-Star Game on Feb. 15 at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT, the first US vs. World format, and will be available for select NBA games throughout the rest of the season. On mobile, fans can navigate between a selection of curated feeds of alternate game angles. On TV and web, Courtside Live will show those same available angles in a Multiview experience.  

• During the live games, fans can navigate between “Star Spotlight,” highlighting standout players on the court, and “Home Team” or “Away Team” views that will stay focused on each team’s bench to catch player reactions. 

• “Hot Highlights” will curate moments from the game and beyond, showcasing key plays, as well as the culture of the league, from tunnel looks, to interviews, to celebrity fans in the stands.
